Winemaker Comments:
Planted in 1882, the Beeson Ranch is one of Dry Creek Valley’s oldest and most prized vineyards. Located along West Dry Creek Road, the Beeson Ranch faces east and extends up several gentle hillsides to a forest of conifer trees. The old gnarled vines, first planted by Italian immigrants, provide dramatic aromas of white pepper, cardamom, and dried floral elements. On the palate, supple tannins mingle with blackberry and dark cherry flavors. The finish is long and pure with expressive Zinfandel characters. A dramatic wine from a special place.
