2006 Zinfandel “The 2006 Dono dal Cielo Zinfandel is a classic Zinfandel, reminiscent of the great Zinfandels from the late 70’s and 80’s. Not your typical heavy, high alcohol, over-extracted Zinfandel, it highlights brighter fruit notes with aromas and flavors of cinnamon, allspice and anise,” explains our winemaker Derek Irwin, “Fruit component is raspberry and cherry. Good acidity and balance with light to moderate tannin.” First Harvest: August 2006 Second Harvest: September 2006 Third Harvest: October 2006 Bottled: August 28-29, 2007, 1318 cases Appellation: Sierra Foothills Harvest Notes: Three harvests, even ripening, exquisite fruit component.
