The Biglieri Vineyard was a new source of grapes for us for 2021. The vineyard is just west of Highway 101 at Dry Creek Valley Road in the town of Healdsburg. It was planted with Zinfandel in the 1960's and the fruit originally went to Gallo.
94 Points– Ruby red in color. 14.5% ABV. 100% from Biglieri Vineyard in the Dry Creek Valley. The vines date back to the 1960’s. Gorgeous nose of red fruits, citrus, anise and flowers. Medium body with mouth watering acidity. Loaded with bright, juicy fruits. Raspberry, blood orange, baking spices and a hint of pepper on the palate. Exceptional length on the finish. The best Zinfandel I have had from Bruce Patch! Drink over the next 3-4 years. $38 at the winery and retail. Zinfandel Chronicles
This 2021 is 100% Zinfandel and we made about 100 cases. Dry Creek Valley Zin at it's best!
