Beautifully balanced and elegant, with distinctive jammy characters. Aromas of raspberry and red berry immediately leap from the glass. On the palate, the wine exhibits denser elements of blackberry, anise and pepper. The combination of cooler Russian River and warmer Dry Creek Valley fruit is on display, finishing with a smooth and balanced finish.
Dry Creek Heritage Zinfandell
Zinfandel is the grape variety used to make this wine. It is quite full-bodied and has lots of ripe plumy and cherry fruit flavours. It also has lots of spicy flavours but is quite soft and easy to drink.
Juicy, fruity plump raspberries and ripe plums with fantastic structure and good acidity to boot.

Intense
For people who enjoy big, bold wines that really pack a punch. For many who enjoy similar wines it’s a case of the bigger the better!
The history of Dry Creek Vineyard is a long and colourful one. Founded in 1972 by David Stare, it paved the way for a renaissance of winemaking and viticulture in the Dry Creek Valley. Before his arrival, the valley was little more than a few family farms and prune orchards but it was David’s vision to start a Loire Valley inspired winery that reintroduced consumers to the wines of northern Sonoma County.
David is a Loire aficionado and Dry Creek has succeeded brilliantly with plantings of Sauvignon and Chenin Blanc, but has also built up a reputation for terroir driven, old vine Zinfandel. As Wine Enthusiast Magazine suggested “When Dry Creek gets it right, few wineries anywhere can beat their Zins.”
