<H1>Zinfandel 2005 (Library Wine) -- Adelaida Shopping Cart</H1> $35.00 -- Last Call <div align="justify">On the South side of Peachy Canyon Rd., just across the road from our HMR Pinot Noir block lies a tantalizing natural ampitheatre of vines known as Bailey Vineyard. Planted to Heritage Zinfandel clones in the perilously steep outer “wings” of the semi-circular vineyard, Bailey’s owners are advocates of organic viticulture. Dry farmed and head pruned, yields are low, developing tiny grapes that resemble small blueberries. While the vineyard is still youthful (8th leaf) the quality of fruit is exceptional, owing to the difficult site and natural vineyard practices. Older vine, Westside Shelley Vineyard (40 years) provided an enhancing 13% to add wisdom to the blend. Picked between Sept. 23rd and Oct. 3rd the ripe fruit was fermented on native yeast, manually punched down to maximize skin contact with the fermenting juice, and spent 17 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels (26% new). Bold and briary the young wine blooms in the bowl with a few clockwise swirls to reveal bright raspberry aromatics and the classic cracked white pepper spice. Further vinous contemplation gives one a sense of cedar and cocoa powder in its liquid embrace. If the excitement lasts for more than 4 hours, seek medical advice. 995 cases. </div> Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/adelaida/Category23" TITLE="Red Wines">Red Wines</A> / <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/adelaida/Category29" TITLE="Zinfandel">Zinfandel</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/adelaida/Product141 TITLE="Zinfandel Michael's Estate 2007">Zinfandel Michael's Estate 2007</A> -- True to the house style of recent vintages, 2007 shows bright and vibrant red berry fruit, crispedged in its youth with exuberant raspberry and fennel notes lingering in the long finish. 912 cases produced . . . <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/adelaida/Product113 TITLE="Schoolhouse Zinfandel 2006">Schoolhouse Zinfandel 2006</A> -- Blended from various mountainous vineyards located on the west side of Paso Robles. <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/adelaida/Product115 TITLE="Zinfandel 2006">Zinfandel 2006</A> -- True to the house style of recent vintages, 2006 shows bright and vibrant red berry fruit, crispedged in its youth with exuberant raspberry and fennel notes lingering in the long finish. 912 cases produced . . . <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/adelaida/Product36 TITLE="Zinfandel 2003">Zinfandel 2003</A> -- A textbook zinfandel loaded with bright, spicy, juicy, big-bold flavors.
