2010 Zinfusion “A Great American Value”
Every so often, a wine comes along that stands out among the crowd, sometimes for a given year and sometimes year after year. Luckily for us our Zinfandel Zinfusion Reserve has been the latter. Since we began making the Zinfusion blend almost ten years ago, there has not been a disappointing vintage. In fact, it seems to get better and better year after year, thanks to the hard work of our vineyard and winemaking teams.
Recently, our 2010 Zinfusion received some well-deserved recognition from Wine Spectator Magazine! In an article titled, “Great American Values” our Zinfusion was listed as one of the top 100 red wines in America under $20.00. That is pretty amazing, considering how many thousands of wines qualify for consideration in that category. Over the years we have always strived to bring high quality, affordable and accessible wines to the market and this is confirms we have done just that!
Our winemaker Tom Myers put it best when he said, “I want to produce the best wines I possibly can, but in the end, I wouldn’t feel good about making wines that only a small percentage of the population can afford. We produce honest wines that are an honest value. Our wines allow people to include quality wine in their daily lifestyle, without breaking the bank.” It is precisely this philosophy that allows us to produce wines like our Zinfusion.
If you get a chance, pick up a bottle of our 2010 Zinfusion as it is a very special vintage and is going faster than Lance Armstrong’s Tour De France titles (sorry Lance couldn’t resist). This wine is a blend of our Cobble Creek and Whale Rock Zinfandels with 14% Petite Sirah blended in from the Shell Creek vineyard, giving it great color, body and intense aroma. After the 2009 vintage I was convinced it couldn’t get any better and boy was I wrong!
Till Next Time,
Cheers,
Luke
