Discover Zinfandel Wines
Red Zinfandel is a grape varietal with black and blue skins that is mostly produced and consumed in the United States.
This grape tends to have lighter-bodied qualities in the glass while yet retaining strong notes. Zin has a strong acidic content and a traditionally high alcohol level, which contributes to this (up to 17 percent in some cases).
Because of these two characteristics, Zinfandel may have a medium body on the palate.
Raspberry, raisin, cherry, cassis, and plum are just a few of the rich red fruit tastes found in this grape type. Black pepper spice, tobacco, dry barnyard door, and coffee are often used to complement these jammy fruit tastes.
While these are the broad strokes, Zinfandel tastes may vary widely, and alcohol level is a significant factor.
Cooler temperature Zins are said to have more red fruit tastes, whereas warmer climate varietal wines have more black fruit and pepper subtleties, depending on maturity at harvest.
Over 70% of Zinfandel acreage is owned by the United States, with the rest held by Italy (approximately 27%) and different places across Australia, South Africa, and Mexico.
About the Producer: Decoy Wines
Decoy Wines is a brand founded in the 1990s as the second Duckhorn Vineyards brand in Napa Valley. Decoy currently produces a range of fine wines from a variety of Sonoma County grapes and specific vintages in Napa Valley. Decoy was originally a standalone wine, a Bordeaux red blend, in the Duckhorn catalogue. Its success grew into an entirely new brand, focusing on Sonoma County rather than the Napa Valley Merlot that Duckhorn was known for. The Decoy Red blend is still the flagship, but the winery has expanded to include a Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. In 2012 and 2013, Decoy acquired its first vineyards, Ridgeline Vineyard and Brownell Vineyard, both in Alexander Valley. and cultivates Bordeaux varieties. Brownell Vineyard is located in a valley on gravel soils that retain heat well and allow the vineyard to grow into a strong, mature Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines are made from a combination of fruits grown on the property and cultivated fruits. The Duckhorn controller also owns Paraduxx, Migration, Goldeneye, Canvasback and finally Calera (acquired in 2017). Wineries adopt a collaborative approach and, as a result, a variety of wines is the product of consultation between different winemakers.
