Folie a Deux 2018 Zinfandel, Dry Creek Valley

Description

Perhaps the first place to look for outstanding red Zin is Dry Creek Valley, a small but prime quality AVA in Sonoma with a warm climate and old vine plantings from the early Italian immigrants. The ocean fog rolls in in the morning, cooling down the warm temperatures and giving the grapes a much-needed break from the California sun.When Trinchero purchased Folie a Deux and decided to make it a Sonoma brand, they sourced top quality fruit from the best areas, which is just what we have in this wine. 93% Zinfandel and 7% Petite Sirah from prime vineyards in Dry Creek Valley are aged up to 16 months in 28% new French and American oak.This 2018 Zinfandel opens with rich, concentrated jammy aromas with notes of all spice, mocha, and hints of cedar. Structured with velvet tannins leaving a rounded mouthfeel and a soft, lingering finish.With many Dry Creek Zins selling for a premium this one is an absolute steal! 750 ml
