Varietals:  Zinfandel

Appellation:  Contra Costa County

Winemaker:  Kent Rosenblum

Winemaking Techniques:  Jesse is the original farmer, and father of the current grower, thus, this lovely Zin has his namesake. The grapes were harvested August 29, 2008, and crushed into macro-bins on 20% whole berries. They were fermented dry and racked to barrel.

Cases Produced:  765

Tasting Notes:  The luscious Zinfandel from Jesse’s Vineyard is juicy with black plum and cocoa notes.  On the palate, jammy notes mingle with milk chocolate, black tea and spices and are enhanced with the wine's rich and supple textures.
