Mueller Zinfandel Old Vine 2005 750ml
Russian River Valley Old Vine Zinfandel
"Our 2005 Russian River zinfandel is produced from a
single block vineyard, planted in 1915, located near the eastern border of the Russian River Valley appellation. Directly east of the vineyard is the Chalk Hill appellation. This vineyard only partially experiences the
cooling impact of fog from the Russian River due to its distance from the water. The fruit is harvested in the cool morning hours and transporte to the winery (about 20 minutes away) for crushing into our small, two ton
custom designed fermenting tanks. A portion of juice is fermented using pure strain yeast while the balance ferments spontaneously with wild (indigenous) yeast. During fermentation, we punch down the cap by
hand several times each day to gently extract the grapes flavors and aromas. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, of which about 40% are new.
Tasting Notes: The 2005 Old Vine Zinfandel has a deep clear red color. It boasts of ripe Santa Rosa plum and blueberry fruit with a hint of coffee in the aroma. This is a big, rich wine, with toasted oak, coffee bean
and blackberry preserve flavors and a long finish. While wonderful in its youth, this wine will continue to develop new complexities with age."
