Zinfandel
FULL-BODIED, POMEGRANATE, RASPBERRY, RED CURRANT, THYME, NEUTRAL OAK
Despite being relatively new to the scene, Claire Hill (who worked throughout Sonoma, the Santa Cruz Mountains, and with the legendary Éric Texier in the Rhône Valley before launching her own winery in 2016) has already proven herself an incredibly talented and thoughtful winemaker. Her Zinfandel is unusual, in the best way – elegant but structured, it has delicate, perfumed aromatics, roaring acidity, and none of the stewed prune flavors you often see in California Zin.
WINEMAKING : Low-intervention; slow & cool fermentation in stainless steel (to prevent extracting harsh/bitter flavors); aged for 18 months in neutral French oak
