***THIS IS A HALF-BOTTLE SIZE (375ml) SOLD BY THE CASE ONLY***

This very interesting Zinfandel comes from the Kidd Ranch in St. Helena. In 2005, Duane was lucky enough to purchase this fruit that came in at over 30 Brix and over 1.0 gm/100 ml total acidity. These are numbers like you see in Auslese Riesling grapes from Germany; a rarity in the Napa Valley. There were only about 2 tons of the fruit to work with, so Duane decided to let it go and make a sweet wine for the first time. Home Run!

Tasting notes from Proprietor & Winemaker Duane Dappen: "The Late Harvest Zinfandel has an intense strawberry/blackberry jam nose. The very lush, slightly-sweet palate has flavors of fresh strawberries and dried cherries, with hints of spice. This wine finishes with a crisp fruity blast. The light sweetness is balanced by the crisp natural acidity. This is a wonderful wine to have with a cheese course or some simple summer fruits."
