Dry-farmed for over 20 years, our 4.5 acre estate block consists of mature thirty-seven year old vines which typically give us around 2.5 tons/acre of beautiful hillside zinfandel fruit. Interspersed among the head-trained vines are a handful of Petite Sirah vines representing perhaps 5% of the total vines in this block. A traditional field companion to Zinfandel in pre-prohibition California vineyards, Petite Sirah contributes pepper, color, and tannin structure to the wine.<BR><BR>Our Zinfandel is aged for 11 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels, 20% of which are new. At this level of &#8220;new wood&#8221;, the up-front endearing quality of Zinfandel can assert itself. Aromas of a briar patch on a hot summer day carry over to the palate and are carried in a mouth-filling, flavorful, juicy package. The wine is crafted for immediate enjoyment but for those who enjoy a more complex wine displaying some bottle-aged character, aging for another two to three years is a good option.<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR></P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/buehler/Category4" TITLE="Wine">Wine</A> / <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/buehler/Category1" TITLE="Appellation Wine">Appellation Wine</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/buehler/Product69 TITLE="2007 Napa Valley Caberent Sauvignon">2007 Napa Valley Caberent Sauvignon</A> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/buehler/Product78 TITLE="Buehler Vineyards 2008 Russian River Valley Chardonnay">Buehler Vineyards 2008 Russian River Valley Chardonnay</A> -- 2008 Russian River Valley Chardonnay <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/buehler/Product8 TITLE="Buehler Vineyards 2008 White Zinfandel">Buehler Vineyards 2008 White Zinfandel</A> </P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/buehler" TITLE="Buehler Vineyards Products">Buehler Vineyards Products</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><A HREF="http://buehlervineyards.com">Buehler Vineyards</A> <BR>Buehler Vineyards <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="shopping cart">shopping cart</A> powered by Nexternal
