Sky Vineyards Zinfandel Mount Veeder, 2011 Arinto dos Açores An extremely tough vintage full

An extremely tough vintage full of weather variation produced slightly bigger wines

More briny sweetness and orchard fruit (apples and pears mostly) are present too

8 months of lees aging also adds some roundness

The result of impassioned distilling and agriculture

delivering savory notes of cured meat

Sky Vineyards Zinfandel Mount Veeder, 2011 Arinto dos Açores An extremely tough vintage fullThis wine is made of 100% Zinfandel. Made by an old school producer who lives right next to the vineyard, this wine boasts bountiful black cherries and mountain berries with a distinct peppery brighness. Open it now or lay it down for awhile, and admire the Lore artwork depicting the winery's strength during the 2017 wildfires. We would pair it with grilled lamb chops and asparagus in a lemon yogurt sauce.
