2005 'OZ' Zinfandel; Alexander Valley

The key to good wine is good grapes and the ancient vines of the Osburn Vineyard, a stone’s throw away from our winery, have been the source of the valley’s most prestigious fruit for over 100 years.

The 2005 vintage was a year memorable for its perfect climate, consistently warm but rarely torridly hot days. The lush fruit ripened slowly making the wine especially fragrant and nectarous. The wine emits a bouquet of violets, mint, and pepper. Notes of cocoa, blackberry, and nuts highlight this remarkably balanced wine, defined by its intriguing bouquet, distinctive savor, and sustained finish, a perfect complement to any red meat dish from rib-eye steaks to prime rib and pork ribs…Try our Zin from the ‘land of Oz,’ where great grapes beneath sunny skies make great wines.
