Jelly Jar Zinfandel

2010 Old Vine Zinfandel
Old Vine Zinfandel - Jelly Jar


The 2010 vintage was picked on October 13th.  After hand-sorting and destemming the clusters, we gave the grapes a five-day, whole-berry cold soak for maximum flavor and color extraction. After fermenting the wine for about one week in stainless steel, we aged it for 10 months in 30% new French oak to add complexity to the rich fruit character.

True to its varietal, this Zinfandel exhibits ripe aromas and flavors of raspberry, black cherry and pomegranate. Silky from entry to finish, well balanced and good acid make it a perfect food wine.
