2022 Courage Zinfandel
Grape Varietal: 100% Zinfandel
THE WINE & THE REGION
Dave and Dena Faloni are the neighbors behind Courage Zinfandel, a three-generation grape growing family located two miles west of the winery. While most Zinfandel in the valley is head-pruned Dave has trained his vines on a trellis. He knows every quirk of the soil and every vine on their 24 acres having farmed it all of his life.
THE STYLE
The vintage of 2022 was influenced by low amounts of rain and was followed by a warm growing season which sped up maturity while concentrating flavors and color. The grapes from this single vineyard were harvested the first day of September preserving the varietal flavors, aromatics, and natural acidity.
PAIRING NOTES
The aromas of ripe red berries and baking spices introduce this wine. Full-bodied with a plump fruit palate of blackberry, boysenberry, cinnamon, vanilla, and toasted oak notes. Our single vineyard Zinfandel finishes with hints of white pepper laced through the lingering lush fruit.
