Dry Creek Vineyard Heritage Vines Zinfandel 2022 is a Sonoma County red built from historic Zinfandel vineyards. The winery identifies this release as the 2022 vintage and ages it for 17 months in American, Hungarian, and French oak. This listing is for one 750 mL bottle at 14.5% ABV.
The producer describes a generous profile of blackberry, nutmeg, and white pepper, with fresh black cherry, raspberry, and blueberry flavors. Its combination of ripe fruit, warm spice, and structured oak gives the wine depth while preserving the lively character associated with Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel.
Serve slightly below room temperature in a large red-wine glass. This fruit-forward Sonoma Zinfandel suits grilled beef, barbecue, braised pork, tomato-based dishes, and aged cheeses. Allowing the bottle a brief period of air before serving can help the fruit and spice open, while leftovers should be recorked and refrigerated.
