Zinfandel

Zinfandel’s rise as America’s adopted grape is a story rooted in California’s Gold Rush, where it first took hold among immigrant farmers and quickly flourished in the state’s varied climates. Once synonymous with bold, ripe expressions from producers in Dry Creek and Paso Robles, Zinfandel has undergone a striking evolution—today’s top examples reflect careful site selection, old vine heritage, and a lighter, fresher touch in the cellar. Through a dynamic range of styles, this tasting offers a look at how a once-hearty field blend grape became a canvas for nuanced, terroir-driven winemaking in modern America.
