The 2010 Zinfandel Jolene’s Vineyard bursts onto the palate with waves of dark fruit. The Jolene’s shows massive richness, power and concentration. It needs at least another year in bottle for the tannins to soften. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020. Proprietor Don Hartford and his winemaker Jeff Stewart have fashioned an impressive colletion of Chardonnays, Pinots and Zinfandels. The Chardonnays are fermented with native yeasts and see significant lees stirring. The Pinots spend 15 months in French oak barrels, 30-55% new. The Zinfandels typically see 9-12 months in barrel, which seems a bit on the short side for wines that have so much to say. All of the wines are bottled unfiltered. Tel. (800) 588-0234
