<B>Tasting Notes:</B><BR>
Our 2004 Tradizionale captures the beauty of an
old-vine field-blend and the essence of the Dry Creek
Valley terroir. Ripe berry and black pepper aromas
and flavors are only the beginning of the cascade of
taste sensations. Bright and lively flavors dance across
the palate revealing delicious ripe raspberry, plum and
blackberry. Black pepper and oak notes initially provide
the backdrop. The fruit and spice flavors bond
mid-palate to create a spicy yet silky-smooth finish.<BR>
<BR>
<B>Vineyard:</B><BR>
West Vineyard is an 80-year-old dry-farmed, head-trained
Zinfandel vineyard located on a hillside
in the southeast corner of Dry Creek Valley. A
traditional fi eld-blend vineyard; a small portion is
planted with mixed black varieties such as Petite
Sirah, Carignane and Mataro, along with a few white
grape varieties.<BR>

<B>Fred's Vintaged View:</B><BR>
This is the kind of wine that really got me hooked on
Zinfandel. A traditional, old-vine field-blend, this wine to
me is the classic “raspberry jam” that differentiates the best Dry Creek Valley Zins from all others. Big, but balanced.
Fruity, yet elegant. This is a wine that will go with almost
any food, but you can also just pull the cork on a bottle
and drink it with friends while playing cards or watching a
good movie.<BR>

<B>Vineyard:</B><BR>
The old-vine West Vineyard Zinfandel in this wine was
planted in the 1920s during Prohibition. It contains about
3% other red grapes (Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouschet,
Carignane and some others I’m not really sure about)
as well as 1% white grapes (Semillon, Palomino and
Chasselas). All the vines are harvested at the same time and
all the various varieties are co-fermented, which produces
a smoother, fuller wine than separate fermentations and
subsequent blending can give you.<BR>
