DORIS Red Table Wine 2021

Description

A combination of Zinfandel (80%), Barbera (15%) and Alicante Bouschet (5%). The Zinfandel and Alicante were sourced from the Bedrock Vineyard in Sonoma. The fruit was from adjacent blocks, picked on the same day, co-fermenting them together. Traditionally this fruit has always been the base for the red table wine. Blended in a few barrels of Barbera to level up the acidity and aromatics. All fermentations went off spontaneously in open-top stainless steel fermenters. In addition to the co-ferment, approximately half of the Zinfandel and Alicante was fermented whole-cluster to further enhance the color and aromatics. Each lot in the blend was aged sur-lie in neutral oak for 10 months before being blended together and laid back down for an additional few months.
