2008 Zinfandel, Jesse's Vineyard

PRODUCTION NOTES
Farmed in Contra Costa County, these wonderful Zinfandel grapes hail from Oakley’s own Duarte Vineyard. 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.

WINEMAKER 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.
