Magnum (1.5L) of 2007 Big River Zinfandel encased in engraved wooden box.

Big River Ranch zin resides comfortably at the bigger and darker end of the zinfandel spectrum. It has a deep crimson color and a bouquet of red berries and briary spice. On the palate, it delivers flavors of ripe raspberries, rhubarb and clove. This zin is made from 14 acres of vines planted in 1905. Vine age limits the yields and provides intense, dark and ripe fruit. The Big River Ranch boasts red soils and hot summer days typical of the Alexander Valley, but also benefits from the coastal cooling effect of the nearby Russian River Valley. The result is longer “hang times” for the coveted fruit coming off these ancient vines. The 2007 vintage balances power and finesse and is perhaps the best year in Sonoma County in the last decade. Enjoy from 2010 until 2016!
