Varietals:  Zinfandel

Appellation:  Stagecoach Vineyard 

Winemaker:  Kent Rosenblum

Winemaking Techniques:  This Mountainside vineyard is owned and operated by Dr. Jan Krupp. It sits at the top of Soda Canyon Road on the Eastern rim of Napa Valley in the Vaca Range. Boasting fantastic views of the valley floor, it has an extremely rocky soil with more rocks than soil.  These zinfandel grapes had such a brave minerality that it shows right through the finished wine. A long cold soak and macro bin fermentations urged the berry fruit to brightness. 

Cases Produced:  308

Tasting Notes:  Flavors and aromas of dulce de leche and caramel crème lead the way, followed by rich raspberry, sage, dark chocolate, graphite minerality, and violets.
