2022 Fanucchi-Wood Road Vineyard Zinfandel

Planted in 1890, the Fanucchi-Wood Road Vineyard is one of the oldest vineyards in Sonoma County. These vines continue to make a wine of depth and character that is truly special. Black fruits with hints of brambles and star anise combine with the signature stone fruit character. Full bodied and lively on the palate, the concentration and depth are balanced out well by the freshness of the acid. Classic boysenberry flavors give way to notes of anise and citrus to round out this complex and layered beauty.

Reviews

94 / Wine Enthusiast

Vibrant raspberry-lime reduction and lilac and white-pepper aromas erupt from the glass of this Zin. The palate is plush and decadent, with flavors of raspberry pie, cherry lollipop, fresh-cut mint and caramel that extend broadly, balanced by a bright streak of lemony acidity through the finish. – T.R.C.

94 / Robert Parker

The 2022 Zinfandel Fanucchi-Wood Road Vineyard comes from vines more than 100 years old and was matured for 13 months in 34% new oak. It has kaleidoscopic scents of raspberry, strawberry, apricot, fennel, iron and allspice. The medium-bodied palate is highly concentrated and expressive. Its chalky tannins add a touch of rusticity that helps temper its hedonistic fruit, and it finishes long and layered. – E,B.
