2022 Estate Dornfelder

This unique varietal was developed in Germany in 1955 and was grown in a new vineyard next to our winery on the eastern side of the Santa Clara Valley just east of Gilroy and is carefully tended by George and Lynda Green. They meticulously farm their vineyard to maximize quality. The 2022 growing season was challenging starting with a two week plus heat wave with temperatures above 110 F. That was followed by weeks of below normal temperatures giving the vines a chance to recover. This velvety textured, dark colored wine has boysenberry syrup and dried herb and coffee aromas in the nose. The silky tannins combine with blueberry flavors and a toasted coconut and baking spice finish. Enjoy this wine with some herb crusted leg of lamb.
