Artezin Zinfandel Mendocino County
Zinfandel from Mendocino County – that's California off the beaten track of Napa. Cooler temperatures, older vines, more structure.
The Hess Collection Winery, under the Artezin label, relies on hand-picked grapes from Mendocino. This region north of San Francisco is known for its older vines and a Zinfandel style that prioritizes depth and length over jammy sweetness.
Deep, dark red in the glass. The nose offers ripe black cherry, blackberry, and a distinct peppery note – typical of Zinfandel from cooler climates. There are also hints of clove and a touch of vanilla from barrel aging. On the palate, velvety tannins, a sweet extract, and a long, spicy finish.
Serving suggestion: Pairs well with venison, duck breast with plum sauce, pulled pork, or a hearty pasta all'Amatriciana. Serving temperature 16–18 °C.
