Award tasting note: (2022 vintage) "A fruit-driven wine with strong tannins, featuring juicy sweet cherry cordial and roasted peach flavors, making it a great entry-level option, ripe yet fairly light-bodied for the variety, and well-balanced overall." - Silver, Sommeliers Choice Awards

Details
- Producer Notes
- Cortina Zinfandel represents our peak expression of Zinfandel from Dry Creek Valley. Named for the gravelly loam soils where this variety thrives, the heart of Cortina comes from Chen’s Vineyard, planted by the Seghesio Family in 1972. Shrouded by morning fog and cooled by afternoon breezes, the grapes benefit from longer hang time, resulting in an elegant Zinfandel with lifted aromatics, bright layered fruit and refined structure.

The heart of this wine comes from the Chen’s Vineyard, planted in 1972, making the vines nearly 50 years old. Vineyards are planted to a combination of gravelly soils called Cortina, from which the wine gets its name.

- Winemaking
-
All grapes were hand-picked and sorted at the winery, gently destemmed, and transferred to small open-top fermentors without being pumped. The fermentations were macerated by pneumatic punch downs throughout the fermentation on skins which lasted from 7 to 10 days. Free run juice was drained and settled briefly before being transferred to barrels to complete malolactic fermentation.

- Ageing

The wines were aged for 14 months in 13% new French Oak and 87% neutral French and American.
