WINE DESCRIPTION
J.D. Hurley Zinfandel hails from the Santa Clara County region of North Coast California. Zinfandel grapes are picked at optimal ripeness to ensure full flavor and tannin development. The winemaking process involves fermentation in stainless steel vessels using temperature control to ensure a steady fermentation and retention of fruit flavors. The wine is matured for a period in oak to impart smoke and char character that is designed to complement the spicy and fruity profile of Zinfandel.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
J.D.Hurley Zinfandel exhibits a deep ruby color with heavy staining of the tears. The wine has enticing and intense aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and a hint of spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with supple tannins and a luscious almost syrupy mouthfeel. The flavors of blackberry jam, plum, and pepper are well-balanced, creating a harmonious and complex profile. The wine finishes with a relatively long persistence, leaving an impression of dark fruit and subtle oak notes.

ORIGINS
Winery: J.D. Hurley
Region: North Coast California
The North Coast of California boasts some of the most renowned vineyards and wineries in the world. Located in the northern part of the state, the North Coast is home to the Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Mendocino County, all of which are recognised for their exceptional wines.
The North Coast of California has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The region was first planted with vines by Spanish missionaries, who planted Mission grapes in the area. In the late 1800s, Italian immigrants began to settle in the region, bringing with them their own grape varieties and winemaking techniques. By the early 1900s, the North Coast had become a major wine-producing region, with many of the wineries still in operation today.CUSTOMER RATING
