2007 Zinfandel Ta Rosé
This French-style Rosé is Dono dal Cielo's inaugural
bottling of this variety. We are very happy with the
quality and flavors. We named this wine after our
daughter and look forward to sharing it with you.

Bottled:
April 7, 2008, 112 cases
Appellation: Sierra Foothills
Harvest Notes: Nice spicy strawberry and
cranberry flavors and aromas. Good acidity with a
clean finish.
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 ripe plum, strawberry preserves,
raspberry and cherry cola. Good acidity and balance
with light to moderate tannin.”

2005

This wine is brilliantly bright,

concert-long finish.

Dono dal Cielo Harvest Notes
Our 2007 Zinfandel harvest is full of promise.
It is a truly humbling experience to contemplate
the rich yield from the vines that we have so
carefully tended all year.

We
just completed bottling our Zinfandel Ta Rosé. A late-harvest Zinfandel Port is also underway
but it may be some time before it is ready for
bottling.
Look for these
great wines under our new label - Dono dal
Cielo, an Estate Vineyard.
