WINE DESCRIPTION
Deaver Henry's House Zinfandel is sourced from Amador County in the Sierra Foothills. Here, heat-seeking Zinfandel is able to achieve full ripeness, expressing the full extent of its aromatic potential. The winemaking process focuses on showcasing the jammy, syrupy character of the variety with a fermentation and maturation in a combination of inert and oak which is used to round out the mouthfeel and complement the fruity profile. This wine pairs perfectly with intensely flavored dishes like hearty stews and barbecued meats.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Deaver Henry's House Zinfandel offers a deep ruby-purple color with thick, heavy staining of the tears that suggests a wine of significant weight.The nose is jammy and bold with aromas of decadent notes blackberries and plum compote with hints of spice reminiscent of anise and licorice. On the palate, this wine exhibits a full-bodied and velvety texture, with flavors of plummy fruit, and a touch of sweet spice. The tannins are supple, creating a smooth texture, whilst the soft acidity provides adequate balance, helping to offset the syrupy fruit profile.

ORIGINS
Winery: Deaver
Region: Sierra Foothills
The Sierra Foothills wine region is located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California, USA.
The discovery of gold near Sutter Mill in 1848 led to the California Gold Rush, resulting in many settlers from Southern Europe who established vineyards to supply them with wine. By the 1860s, the Sierra Foothills wine industry was booming before the depression and Prohibition reduced the industry to just a few vineyards.CUSTOMER RATING
