Quivira Estate Zinfandel 2017

Home > Region > Region - California > Quivira Estate Zinfandel 2017

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

  • Trecini 2016 Rockpile Zinfandel

    Add to cart
    $51.00

    One of the regions finest appellations for growing Zinfandel is the heralded ‘Rockpile’ AVA in the northern realms of the Dry Creek Valley. Rockpile is unique in that there are no wineries within the borders of the AVA. However, winemakers have long considered this region a hidden gem and compete to secure grapes from fewer than a dozen Rockpile growers each year. A bountiful level of vibrant fruit captures the most soft and more refined tannins the Rockpile Zinfandel. 14 months of barrel aging in 100% French Oak, of which about 20% new, has created additional textures and dimensions, while still respecting this distinctive Rockpile fruit. The 2016 Rockpile Zinfandel showcases ripe raspberries, cola, spice, and wild berry brambles.  Sweet tobacco and cocoa powder add complexity. Bright berry flavors linger throughout a long, long smooth finish.  The round, supple tannins and concentrated flavors speak to the specificity of the Rockpile terroir. This juicy Zinfandel demonstrates elegance and balance.
