Description:
Since 1883, five generations of our family have handcrafted fine wines that express the very best of our vineyards and winemaking expertise. Our Beyer Ranch has historically been a premier location for Zinfandel. The estate vineyards are planted on carefully selected sites on the sloping benches that lead to the banks of the Arroyo del Valle and Arroyo Mocho streams. Grapes from these Zinfandel vineyards produce luscious wines with deep richness.
Fermentation: Varietals were fermented separately in upright stainless steel fermenters and pumped over twice daily.
Aging: The wine was aged in a combination of stainless steel tanks and neutral oak barrels to maintain the fruitiness and freshness of the wine.
Tasting Notes: Welcoming with luscious fruit notes such as red cherry, boysenberry and fig. Complemented by hints of black tea, and hibiscus, this wine is medium-bodied with smooth tannins.
