2021 Lucca's Reserve Zinfandel
Tasting Notes:
Sourced from premium Sonoma County vineyards, this Zinfandel expresses rich plum and bramble berry aromas while the palate expands to flavors of cherries. Medium acidity and round tannins finish this wine with robust intensity. It is generous, ripe, and has plenty of spice throughout. Its bold flavors and full body pair well with roasted meats, hearty pasta, or gorgonzola-crusted eggplant.
Appellation Notes: Sonoma County
Sonoma County is roughly an hour north of San Francisco, encompassing a vast area of crazy mixed-up soils amidst valleys, hills, and coastal plains, Sonoma County is NOT an AVA itself. Sorry. However, it contains…(drum roll)....19 AVAs within its boundaries! Spanning 76 miles of the California coast from Annapolis and Cloverdale in the north to Petaluma, Sonoma, and Carneros in the south, the region is home to more than 425 wineries. The region's unique terroir is insanely complicated and produces amazing wines in a variety of styles.
