C5

STEFANI VINEYARD

Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 2008

The next chapter of a life long dream.

With the excellent quality fruit we received in the 2008 vintage we were able to be more selective in choosing the barrel lots for our C5 Stefani Vineyard Zinfandel. Aged in 30% new French and American oak barrels, this wine is fully loaded with rich black cherry and blueberry fruit flavors that are perfectly balanced with overtones of toasted oak.

This vintage has a little more horsepower than my 2007 vintage and is sure to please the most selective Zinfandel palate, so buckle up and take it for a Zin!

The Stefani Vineyard, is located in a southwest-northeast
corridor connecting the warm hillsides of Sonoma County’s
Dry Creek Valley and Alexander Valley. The vineyard's unique
combination of light fog early in the morning and gravelly clay soil
distinguishes this vineyard from others in the same region.

SMS certified, the Stefani Vineyard is managed
with Sustainable Management Sytems that minimize the impact
on the environment.

This wine is fully loaded with Bright, Rich, Jammy black cherry and currant fruit flavors beautifully balanced with hints Chocolate, spice and toasted oak.

Come on, take it for a Zin and see for yourself!
