2016 ONWARD "KNOX VINEYARD" REDWOOD VALLEY ZINFANDEL
2016 ONWARD "lKNOX VINEYARD" REDWOOD VALLEY ZINFANDEL, CALIFORNIA.
About "Much of what we have come to expect from California Zinfandel is a big bold style that takes considerable ripeness to achieve, yet many of our prized Zinfandel vines such as these are older and struggle to achieve this high level of ripeness. In many cases these vines are being deemed over the hill and are being replanted. As a winemaker I prefer lower alcohol and more gentle expressions and I also believe in showcasing what a vineyard is really saying. I saw this as an opportunity to make a pretty and delicate expression of Zinfandel." (Winery)
This vineyard sits across the street from Hawkeye Ranch and has been farmed by the Johnson family for 28 years now. The vines are about 65 years old and they are head trained and dry farmed. It is a majestic vineyard surrounded by redwood trees, a classic California heritage site. (Winery)
About: "My style is about letting the vines speak. They are the art, I am the canvas, my job is to give them a chance to share their beauty in each and every vintage. My decisions are driven from the vineyard and the vintage, my cellar practices are to uphold the truths I find in the vineyard. To this end I pick early looking for balance of flavors at lower ripeness, as I find this is when each vineyard is in its most unique expression of self." (Faith Armstrong Foster, Winemaker)
