3L 2008 Joel Gott California Zinfandel Gift certificate from Gott's Roadside

Here’s a fine example of the grape at its best: blackberries, black cherries and fresh pepper nuances all backed up with firm yet approachable tannins.

Dry-farmed, old-head-trained vines in Lodi and Amador produce intense, structured fruit while the Napa Valley harvest adds power, depth and complexity. Fruit from the cooler climate of Sonoma County offers classic Zinfandel aromatics of pepper and anise. Together, these diverse regions produce a balanced California Zinfandel.

Joel became fascinated with Zinfandel in 1996, and we all find Zinfandel as irresistible today as he did then. Spicy, juicy, brash and elegant Zinfandel continues to be as enjoyable and interesting to make as it is to drink.
