Day Wines, a boutique winery known for its focus on small-batch, terroir-driven wines, produces the Day Zinfandel El Diablo from the renowned Russian River Valley. This wine is crafted from Zinfandel grapes, a varietal celebrated for its bold and fruit-forward character. The Russian River Valley, part of California's Sonoma County, is an ideal region for Zinfandel due to its cool climate and diverse soils, which contribute to the wine's complexity and depth. The winemaking process involves careful fermentation and aging in oak barrels, which imparts subtle vanilla and spice notes to the wine. The flavor profile is rich with ripe blackberry, plum, and a hint of pepper, balanced by a vibrant acidity and smooth tannins. This Zinfandel pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes, and aged cheeses.

"From a site in the Russian River Valley, the 2016 Zinfandel El Diablo Vineyard just about screams “Zinfandel” at the top of its lungs with its utterly classic perfume of mulberries, plum, incense, and exotic spices. With medium-bodied aromas and flavors, integrated acidity, and a weightless texture, this puppy just glides over the palate and is a joy to drink. It should keep for 7-8 years
