The 2006 Mietz Zinfandel is grown in Dry Creek.

TASTING NOTES

The grapes were picked at moderate sugar levels compared to other zinfandels on the market. This crop was picked at 23.0 brix which then soaked up to 24.5 brix, in the tank with a pH of 3.40. This process yielded a wine that is balanced and not excessive in ripeness and showcases typical berry fruit of a classic Dry Creek zin.
