The Federalist Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 2019

Robust fruit with bright berry characteristics and lively acidity.

The Federalist Dry Creek Zinfandel is hand-crafted to bring out the true individuality of this hearty, decidedly American grape.

Our vineyard in the Southern edge of Dry Creek is just a mile from the Russian River with cool and foggy conditions until mid morning, keeping the fruit from over-ripening and allowing for a longer growing season. This produces more mature fruit, and results in rich, full-bodied flavor characteristics.
