Fetzer DUAL VARIETAL Zinfandel Shiraz California
Description: This wine is a blend of 62% Zinfandel and 38% Syrah. Here, the Zinfandel grapes used in this wine come from several key coastalZinfandel regions, including San Luis Obispo, Paso Robles, and Mendocino counties. The Shiraz grapes come from key vineyards in California's Central Valley. This area has rich deep soils and lots of warm sunshine that is balanced by the cooling of the delta breeze that runs off the Sacramento River Delta into the San Francisco Bay. This dark and rich wine was fermented with 50% whole berries. The grapes received a three-day cold soaking period at about 50ºF with yeast was added on the fourth day and the fermentation warmed by natural fermentation heat. The wine was pressed at dryness and malolactic fermentation occurred in the tanks. The wines were aged on lees for 3 months before racking. This process took place in a stainless steel tank to preserve bright fruit aromas and flavours. The Zinfandel grapes add bright raspberry, and cranberry aromas accompanied by the ripe jam and spice. The Shiraz adds rich, leathery flavours, blueberry and the dark runby hues. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £80.90

Gallo Family Vineyards SONOMA COUNTY Zinfandel California
Description: Winemaking has been a tradition in the Gallo family for almost 70 years and in developing the Ernest & Julio Gallo Sonoma wines, the winemakers have made a careful journey from vine to wine. The journey begins in Sonoma County where cool ocean breezes, lingering coastal fog and the warm sun nurture the ripening grapes. It ends with patient barrel-by-barrel tasting during fermentation and ageing to ensure that the potential tasted on the vine is captured in the bottle. Great wine is made in the vineyard and much of Sonoma's success is rooted in a consistent pattern of warm days and cool nights during the summer months. Such climate makes for a long growing season with plenty of hang-time for the grapes, producing full-bodied vintages as well as being rich in concentrated flavours of ripe plum, dark berry and spice. Upon their arrival at the winery, the grapes were de-stemmed but not crushed, resulting in 20-30% whole berries. Next, they were cold soaked with the skins for 24 hours, a technique that helps stabilize and capture delicate flavour nuances. Primary fermentation was accomplished in mostly upright, stainless steel tanks and lasted no more than 5 days at temperatures ranging from 88-92 F. The wine was then barrel aged for an average of 5 months in new and seasoned oak to enhance complexity and smoothness. Very much a Sonoma Zinfandel, displaying all of the characteristic power and grace for which the county has become famous. Exciting aromas of dark plum and cherry richly foreshadow an even deeper palate of berry pie, black fruit jam and spice. Barrel ageing has not only given this vintage well-balanced structure; it has added warm notes of coconut and vanilla to the finish. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £71.03
