Description:
"Everything we love about Dry Creek zinfandel comes to the fore in this wineâ¦Black Raspberry and spice leap from the glass, and on the palate, the concentration and richness of that raspberry fruit is stunning. Add layers of blackberry, current, and eastern spice and all of a sudden, you need to have a second glass of this wine. This is an exceptionally powerful wine, yet so well balanced, that the final impression is in elegance, and the finish is so long that you could call it âtimelessâ elegance. That too, is a really good thing." -Winery Tasting Notes
About Winemaker Virginia Marie Lambrix
While on vacation in South Africa, Virginia Lambrix tasted her first "serious wine." Captured always by a love of nature and the out-of-doors, she determined it was time to learn about the art of the vineyard - viticulture. Within a year, Virginia was studying horticulture and agronomy in the masterâs program at the University of California, Davis, with an emphasis on viticulture and enology. Upon graduation, she worked at the Hendry Ranch in Napa, and for Concha y Toro in Chile.
In 2004, Virginia visited a biodynamic farm in Chile. It was immediately clear to her that the biodynamic principles of respecting nature and nurturing ecology within the vineyard made sense in both a scientific framework and on an intuitive level. She embraced the philosophy and made a point to study and implement its principles at every opportunity. With this knowledge, she returned to work in California for Lynmar and De Loach Vineyards, both of which are in the Russian River Valley.
During her three years at De Loach Vineyards, Virginia worked closely with her growers, moving their vineyards to more sustainable farming methodologies and, in the process, improving quality and moderating farming costs. Her mentor at De Loach, Greg La Follette, taught her to understand both vineyards and winemaking at an intuitive level.
Working side-by-side with winemakers Hugh Chappelle at Lynmar Estate and Greg La Follette, Virginia couldnât help but follow their winemaking with interest and in 2008 she began making wine for Truett Hurst Winery. Bringing her former background in the Russian River Valley to the attention of the Truett Hurst team, she added Russian River Valley wines to the wineryâs portfolio.
Bradford Mountain is the tallest of the hills making up the coastal range bordering the west side of Dry Creek Valley in northern Sonoma County. From the top, the Pacific Ocean is a mere 15 miles to the west and in between, there is nothing but forested hills, the home of countless deer, mountain lions, and wild pigs. Just south of the summit lies a swale that was planted to zinfandel nearly 100 years ago and, as the site of an old grist mill, has been known as the Grist Vineyard for some years.
About Bradford
âThe Dry Creek Valley has long been known for producing zinfandels of both great elegance and power. It is here that the raspberry flavors in the variety step to the fore. Because of the climate, the vines tend to ripen evenly, producing wines with concentration but without weight. Fruit from the hills surrounding the valley offer the same palate, with the addition of greater depth of flavor and a bit more spice. There is not much land suitable for planting in this stretch of mountains, and the Grist Vineyard has long been sought after for its fruit.
Over the years, our fruit has been purchased by Turley, Gary Farrell, and other well-known producers, and in early 1980s was purchased by Bill Hambrecht, who subsequently began producing wine from this site under the Bradford Mountain label.
Today, the vineyards are farmed sustainably using organic principles. The current vines are between 8 and 45 years old, and while the old-vine Fruit is still bottled under the Grist Vineyard moniker, the younger vines supply fruit for the more approachable Dry Creek Valley appellation wine.
âAt harvest time, the running joke among the vineyard workers is that they know the fruit is ripe when the indigenous picking crew (the wild pigs) show up. Chasing them out of the vineyard to get the real crew in there is always exciting, and the image of the wild boar has been added to the label to honor the help we receive from our somewhat disagreeable neighbors.
