Fans of rich, full-bodied California reds will flip over the latest 90 point vintage of the High Valley Zinfandell. Located two hours north of San Francisco, the High Valley AVA sits at 3,000 feet above sea level with a ring of mountains surrounding a volcanic valley. Back in the 1870s, High Valley created a name for itself as one of California’s largest wine producing regions, and today produces amazing full-bodied reds. Sourced from three estate vineyards, the Zinfandel from High Valley bring structure and backbone, the Red Hills contributes lush fruit and Big Valley adds tannin and ripe fruit tones. All wrapped around a core of rich, dark berry flavors with layers of spice, plum, and vanilla balanced by light hint of toasted oak. You can taste the pedigree as we've paired this side-by-side with $50+ bottles!
"This Zin shows a good level of complexity whilst still maintaining a fun and approachable attitude. Find notes of black cherry, black plum, cacao, roasted coffee, fennel, fresh-cut wood, vanilla, nutmeg, dried eucalyptus and a hint of forest floor. Chalky tannins gently coat the mouth; a solid medium level of acidity adds just enough freshness and vivacity." The Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points
