WINE DESCRIPTION
Acre Zinfandel is a red wine produced in the Oakville AVA of the Napa Valley. This is an unusual appellation in which to find Zinfandel due to the popularity of Cabernet Sauvignon. In fact, this was the last Zinfandel to be planted in the region. The vineyards are certified as being farmed according to organic principles. The sun causes thicker skins and creates a more grippy style of California Zinfandel. The result is a full bodied wine with notes of fig, cherry and cinnamon that is a good choice for any advocate of Zinfandel who may enjoying trying examples of the grape for lesser known origins.
