WINE DESCRIPTION
Nalle Zinfandel is an opulent, full bodied, oaked, red wine with a ripe fruit expression and moderate dusty tannins intended for drinking over the medium term. The wine is produced by Nalle Winery, a family-owned winery, established in the early 1980s in the Dry Creek Valley appellation of Sonoma County, California. The grapes used to make this wine are sourced from the estate's old vines, which combine with the warm climate to yield very ripe, concentrated fruit. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting and small-batch fermentation, and maturation in oak. The resulting wine is a classic example of a Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel, with rich fruit flavors, a full body, soft tannins and a long finish. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a benchmark example of this sun drenched Cali style of the grape variety.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Nalle Zinfandel is a full-bodied and robust red wine, with dark berry flavors and a hint of baking spices.On the nose, aromas of black cherry and strawberry dominate, while subtle notes of vanilla add complexity. On the palate, the wine has soft tannins and a balanced acidity. The finish is long and rewarding, with flavors of blackberry and oak lingering on the tongue. Enjoy this wine with grilled meats, sharp cheeses, and dark chocolate.
