Dark Horse Zinfandel

Dark Horse 2006 Zinfandel
Dry Creek Valley ~ Treborce Vineyard

We recently poured this wine at the 2008 Sonoma Mountain Art & Wine Festival and it was a very big hit with the Zinfandel fans. In fact, it was one of the first reds we ran out of – and we really did bring quite a bit of this wine. I personally noticed a fair amount of black pepper on the nose, followed by loads of dark, jammy blackberry fruit richness. This wine can definitely hold its own with whatever spicy dish you decide to throw at it.

This was taken right from the Dark Horse’s mouth, so to speak: “Does eat oats and goats eat oats but the Dark Horse eats the competition. Let the little lambs eat whatever they want. Our 2005 Zinfandel was in the winner’s circle and our 2006 looks to be crossing to the lead for this vintage. Rich in jammy black cherry, intense wild berry, smoke and licorice. It has cinnamon and clove aromas followed by both white and cracked black pepper.”
