Zinfusion wins big at SF Chronicle Wine Comp!
Results are in from the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and let me say, “Tom and our winemaking team have done it again!” Every year we enter a handful of wines in the competition and this year, like many others, we have come out with some great awards. One wine in particular, continues to blow me away with its accolades and that wine is our Zinfandel Zinfusion!
This year at the SF Chronicle Wine Comp our Estate Chardonnay (one of my favorites) and Estate Zinfandel both took Gold and our Zinfandel Zinfusion took top honors with “Double Gold!” This is not the first time our Zinfusion has lead the pack and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Last year Wine Spectator Magazine named our Zinfusion one of the “Top 100 Red Wine Values in America,” which was something we were really proud of as we take pride in the value and quality of our wines.
To me this is a testament to our appellation and mot of all to our wonderful winemaking team. Growing grapes and making wine is not an easy task and our team manages to do a spectacular job year after year. With our Zinfusion, Tom has truly created a one of a kind Zin blend and a wine we openly refer to as a “Cult Favorite!”
