2019
Sonoma County
Our powerful boldest premium reds, dark, age-worthy wines of substance. Regardless of their grape, these heavyweights are barrel-aged and quite concentrated in flavor.
FOOD PAIRING: These big reds perform best with rich, high-protein foods such as AGED CHEESES & RED MEATS and work brilliantly with RICHER, BOLDER SAUCES too.

Tasting Notes
At DeLoach Vineyards we strive to produce distinctive wines that highlight unique terroirs in a socially and environmentally responsible way, practicing sustainable viticulture and minimally intrusive winemaking. The grapes were hand-harvested on September 30, 2019 and fermented in open-top vats with hand punchdowns occurring twice a day, after which the must is basket-pressed and barrel-aged 15 months in French oak, 3% new.
WinemakingAroma:This 2019 Wild Creek Vineyard Zinfandel opens with intense aromas of boysenberry and raspberry and is enriched by layers of spice.
Palate:Bright acidity and silky tannins round out this elegant restrained wine.
Tech NotesVintage Notes:Harvested from one of the few heritage vineyards remaining in Sonoma County, this Wild Creek Zinfandel speaks to the history of the vines and the terroir. Planted in iron-rich soils that are well drained, the old vines produce small, concentrated berries that result in intense fruit flavors.
