The 2021 Oakville Winery Zinfandel was made by Lynn Watanabe, who steers away from the classic fruity California Zinfandel. This wine exhibits aromas of cherry, raspberries, pomegranate, spices, and hibiscus flower; on the palate, you are encountered by an elegant, clean entry with fine-grained tannins and well-balanced structure, finishing with a lively crispy finish.
Lincoln Creek is a family-owned and certified organic vineyard found in the Oakville appellation of Napa Valley. The vineyard contains an 18-acre block of Zinfandel near the base of Yountville Hills.
This 2003 planting is quadrilateral cordon-trained and spur-pruned. The canopy is meticulously managed throughout the season to maximize air circulation and sunlight interception to enhance fruit ripening and reduce disease pressure.
Pairs well with duck based dishes.
