Terra d'Oro Deaver Vineyard Zinfandel
Mild temperatures throughout the growing season allowed for slow even ripening, resulting in rich Zinfandels with fresh fruit characteristics and mature tannins. The Terra d’Oro Deaver Zinfandel showcases warm, inviting earthy notes of oregano, white pepper, clove, vanilla, black cherry, dark cocoa and smoke on the nose. The palate is invigorated with velvety tannins leading into a balanced midpalate and spicy finish.
With age comes grace and over time, the vines have self-regulated and do not grow as wildly as new vine Zinfandel. Winemakers with old vine Zinfandel experience take pride in the careful selection of yeast strains and pumpover techniques designed to extract the flavor and character of the grapes unique to this vineyard.
