2022 Grgich HIlls Estate Zinfandel Organic

Grgich Hills Estate

Napa Valley, California

This elegant, fruity Zinfandel brims with inviting aromas of cherry,raspberry, and blackberry intermixed with hints of cranberry and blood orange. Graceful and soft on the front palate, the flavours of mixed red berries and the lively tannins add luscious texture throughout the mid-palate, balanced with perfectly integrated acidity. Its long finish reveals spicy undertones and a superb freshness that will allow it to age beautifully for many years.


Viticulture

Our 34-acre vineyard, which is located above Calistoga, is the warmest of our five vineyards and is the sole source of our Zinfandel. Its northeast exposure catches abundant morning sun but is shaded from the hot, late afternoon sun and combined with the vineyard’s gravelly loam soil, creates the perfect spot to grow this varietal. All our vineyards are certified regenerative organic, ensuring that all of our grapes are of the highest quality, and that we are responsible stewards of our environment.


Vinification

Once pressed and fermented the grapes spent 18 months in neutral French oak.
