Dry Creek Vineyard, established in in the heart of Sonoma County, is renowned for its commitment to producing high-quality wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Dry Creek Valley. The Zinfandel Heritage is a testament to this dedication, crafted primarily from Zinfandel grapes with a touch of Petite Sirah to enhance its complexity. The wine hails from the Dry Creek Valley appellation, known for its ideal climate and soil conditions for Zinfandel. The winemaking process involves careful fermentation and aging in a combination of French, American, and Hungarian oak barrels, which impart subtle vanilla and spice notes. On the palate, this wine offers a rich tapestry of ripe blackberry, cherry, and plum flavors, balanced by vibrant acidity and a smooth tannin structure. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes, and aged cheeses.

Rich vanilla bean and cocoa aromas lead to opulent blackberry and black cherry flavors in this lavishly oaked, well-polished and moderately tannic wine. It will benefit from a few years' age to let the spicy oak notes mellow a bit. Best from 2025.
