Buehler Napa Valley Zinfandel
$38.67
Buehler Vineyards is a family run winery located on a mountain top just 5 miles east of St Helena in the Napa Valley. Now run by the fourth generation of the family, the estate spans 121 hectares and is mostly planted to Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel.
This is how the winery describe this Zinfandel – “The grapes we choose for our 2017 Buehler Vineyards Napa Valley Zinfandel come exclusively from our low-yielding estate vineyards. Dry-farmed for over 30 years, our 4.5 acre estate block consists of mature forty-three year-old vines which typically give us around 2.5 tons/acre of beautiful hillside Zinfandel fruit. Interspersed among the head-trained vines are a handful of Petite Sirah vines representing perhaps 5% of the total vines in this block. A traditional field companion to Zinfandel in pre-prohibition California vineyards, Petite Sirah contributes pepper, color, and tannin structure to the wine… Our Zinfandel was aged for 12 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels, 20% of which were new. At this level of “new wood”, the up-front endearing quality of Zinfandel can assert itself. Aromas of a briar patch on a hot summer day carry over to the palate and are carried in a mouth-filling, deeply layered, juicy package. The wine was crafted for immediate enjoyment but for those who enjoy a more complex wine displaying some bottle-aged character, aging for another two to three years is a good option.”
