The 2022 Heritage Vines Zinfandel captivates with aromas of black cherry, plum and ripe blueberry, layered with hints of pepper, baking spices and cocoa powder. The palate unfolds with vibrant cranberry and blackberry pie, revealing complexity through bright acidity and deeper undertones of espresso, fine leather and cedar. From the first sip to the lingering finish, this exceptional wine delivers refreshing energy and impeccable structure.
This big and opulent wine displays lavish aromas of roasted cherry, blackberry, and plum on the nose while the palate delivers a rich balance of tannin and acidity with flavors of spiced fig, plum skin, dark chocolate, and licorice. There's plenty of stuffing here for mid-term aging. — T.C.
Sweet perfume leads the 2022 Zinfandel Heritage Vines, which has a youthful ruby/magenta color and reveals aromas of blackberry preserve, apricot, candied flowers, and vanilla bean. Full-bodied, it has a rounder feel on the palate, with a light creaminess of texture, but it cleans off the palate with fresh acidity and a mouthwatering finish that includes notes of dark chocolate.
What We Thought: Another solid representation of the consistency and quality produced by Dry Creek. The blackberry nose, lightly scented with notes of vanilla, led to a full-bodied palate of ripe blackberry and blueberry fruit accented with more vanilla and some baking spice. The pleasant, rich palate also has some notes of dark chocolate and a long finish. All the staff who tasted this agreed that this vintage is as solid as the previous one. -Linda Pendleton
