Woodenhead Zinfandel 2017, Guido Venturi Vineyard, Mendocino County, USA

Home > Region > Region - California > Woodenhead Zinfandel 2017, Guido Venturi Vineyard, Mendocino County, USA

The winemaking at Woodenhead is pure and simple. Their wine is handcrafted from a hard labor of love in tune to the natural rhythm of the land, the water, the air, and the seasons. No mechanical pumping is employed. Inoculated yeast and malolactic cultures, hand punching, basket pressing, French oak, and California fruit is what you get. Small and unique lots are their goal, ultra premium wine is the result. Dark, dense, ruby red in color. Bouquet of brandied cherries, raspberries, plums, vine bark, violets and a prune drying shed. Really something as only very old vines can be. Flavors of really ripe boysenberries, red plums, brown sugar and some spice. Full, round and robust. Medium tannins, with a good acidity to balance this wine. A mouthful. Powerful with a big statement but not hot. Will cellar many years given the pH and acidity levels. Amazing that at this stage of the vineyards’ life it has so much to give fruit wise. Perhaps the care of the grower’s hand is the magic. Wood fired anything, chicken, beef, pork or lamb. Simply an awesome Zinfandel. Enjoy it you Zin Dogs!

80+ year old vines!

    The seductive Lamborn Zinfandel 2018 offers up a rich bouquet of forest fruits, wildflowers, and enticing anise and white pepper notes, complemented by a subtle minerality. The inviting fragrances perfectly translate into pure, rich layers of blackberry, tart cherry, and plum on the palate, elevated by elegant balance and a silky mouthfeel. The medium toast American oak adds slight coffee undertones, all pulled together in this sophisticated Howell Mountain Zinfandel. A true beauty!” – Heidi Barrett, winemaker

    The Mauritson 2019 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 with chewy tannins and a nice long finish with beautiful freshness. Enjoy for the next 7-10 years

  • Brown Chaos Theory 2019

    $44.00

    Now in its seventeenth vintage, Brown 2019 Chaos Theory continues to echo their journey through the world of wine, consistently proving that the best is yet to come, there’s always something to look forward to, and no matter how random or chaotic things may seem there is method and meaning to all that we do and experience. Simply put, all’s well that ends well!
    Brilliant dark magenta core with ruby rim. Lively nose of ripe Rainier cherries, blackberry compote, winter spice, and heavy cream leads to Asian apple and Meyer lemon followed by dark chocolate, tiramisu, and fresh baked croissants/brioche. Time in the glass brings forth ripe black fruit and dark chocolate underpinning primary notes of graphite, pencil shavings, green pepper, vineyard dust, and anise. Silky mouthfeel, medium-bodied yet markedly vibrant. Over time the integration of its blended components will make this a wine to revisit again and again, each bottle revealing a new dimension as it evolves. 55% Napa Valley Cabernet Franc, 35% Brown Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Monte Rosso Zinfandel  3500 cases made.
