Cortina Zinfandel represents our peak expression of Zinfandel from Dry Creek Valley. Named for the gravelly loam soils where this variety thrives, the heart of Cortina comes from Chen’s Vineyard, planted by the Seghesio Family in 1972. Shrouded by morning fog and cooled by afternoon breezes, the grapes benefit from longer hang time, resulting in an elegant Zinfandel with lifted aromatics, bright layered fruit, and refined structure. Aromas of briary black raspberry, lavender and graham cracker crust give way to supple velvety tannins on the palate. Cortina Zinfandel opens with vibrant red-fruit characters and a subtle hint of cocoa powder that carries through to a lengthy elegance in the midpalate, finishing with richness and a touch of spice. Our Dry Creek Zinfandel is extremely versatile and pairs excellently with lamb, creamy pastas, and veggie dishes.

Here's What We Thought:
Bold ruby in the glass, this Zin bursts with juicy black raspberries, cocoa, and a hint of warm spice that begs for a second sip. Plush, smooth tannins make it easy to drink, but it’s got just enough backbone to keep things interesting. Pairs beautifully with lamb chops, rich pasta, BBQ ribs, or anything that deserves a bold, happy red.
