Quivira Estate Zinfandel 2016

Home > Region > Region - California > Quivira Estate Zinfandel 2016

A block selection from the Quivira Estate Zinfandel Vineyards 2016, Black Boar’s aromatic purity and signature Dry Creek flavors embody sense of place. The bold, rich style and red spicy fruit exemplify the qualities that define what is unique about Dry Creek Valley. This wine is crafted in the vineyard and finishes barrel aging in the cellar two years later for optimum balance. The late season heat in mid-August and early September posed a threat to more early ripening varietals, but nurtured balanced maturity across Quivira’s Estate Zinfandel. 2016 was a year that captured the elusive combination of both high quality and reasonable yields, providing diverse lots for crafting this terroir-driven Zinfandel. A classic vintage, showing all the trademark signatures that make this wine quintessentially Quivira.

Concentration and density set the stage. Aromas and flavors revolve primarily around dark fruit while red fruit, spice, and barrel overtones add layered complexity. Blackberry, boysenberry, plum, dried cherry, and baking spice are most prominent. The generous entry is framed by juicy acidity and suave tannins.
80% Zinfandel, 16% Petite Sirah, & 4% Mourvèdre

    $38.00

    The Mauritson 2017 Dry Creek Zin is a little bit riper than previous vintages, but it carries its concentration and dried-fruit elements with incredible poise. Black-fruit aromas dusted with sweet baking spices co-mingle with star anise. The entry has inviting fruit, followed by a dense and full-bodied mid-palate witchewy tannins and a nice long finish with beautiful freshness. Enjoy for the next 7-10 years

  • Mutt Lynch MBF Man’s Best Friend Zinfandel 2018, Perotti Vineyard Dry Creek Valley Sonoma USA

    Add to cart
    $34.00

    This 2018 Zinfandel is beautifully balanced and has all the flavor characteristics of a “best in show” winner. Think cherry and spice and everything nice. It's immediately drinkable and oh so delicious. Be prepared though, once you introduce yourself, your pack is sure to expand to make room for this “mbf.”

  • Brown Zinfandel 2018, Napa Valley, CA

    Add to cart
    $48.00

    The Brown family started as growers in Napa back in the late 70's selling their fruit to such prestigious wineries as T-Vine, Grgich Hills and Green and Red. In 1995, they started their own label with consulting winemaker, Duane Dappen (D-Cubed) getting them going. That was a great day for the wine world! The flagship Napa Valley Zinfandel historically has borne the responsibility of being the ultimate representative of what the Brown property and its unique microclimate have to offer—the cream of the Brown Estate zinfandel crop blended into one stellar wine. As such, it is the most challenging zin they produce because it requires commingling of several distinct personalities into a singular well-adjusted protagonist. The fact that each vineyard’s qualities complement and enhance the others’ virtues is a testament to the integration, fluidity, and perpetual motion—the balancing act!—that is Brown Estate itself. Stunning gemstone magenta core and ruby rim. True on the nose to the hallmark Brown Estate bouquet of rose petals, lily of the valley, hibiscus flowers, Asian apple, and effervescent citrus followed by dried apricot and peach. Medium body with silky mouthfeel, the palate at first delivers a burst of ripe red fruits, heavy cream, and loads of cascading exotic spice, finishing with a surprise of subtle crushed black pepper. Seamlessly integrated, elegant, and engaging. Drink now through 2022 to experience ripe fresh fruit, thereafter for a less fruity, earthier experience. 1100 cases made.
