This 2019 Fanucchi-Wood Road Vineyard Zinfandel opens with intense aromas of raspberry and black cherry with earthy undertones. Oering power and finesse with integrated tannins, the dark fruit flavors intersect with cocoa and vanilla creating a smooth texture on the palate. The finish is lengthy and flavorable with bright acidity.
The grapes were hand-harvested on October 1, 2019 and fermented in open-top vats with hand punchdowns occurring twice a day, after which the must is basket-pressed and barrel-aged 15 months in French oak, 6% new.
The Fanucchi-Wood Road Vineyard is a seven-acre vineyard located in the cool Russian River Valley appellation of Sonoma County. Organically grown and dry-farmed, the Vineyard is primarily planted to Zinfandel on Goldridge Loam soil. Under the care of the Fanucchi family for the past 29 years, the head trained vines have been raised allowing for greater sun exposure and air circulation, reinvigorating the old vines. The results are small berries with bright and concentrate fruit flavors creating an intense wine.
