Sonoma County Zinfandel Wines

Zinfandel’s History
For a time many people assumed Zinfandel was indigenous to California, that was incorrect. More recently the grape was linked to the Italian Primitivo and thought to be the same, that is true although not the complete story. In fact through genetic backtracking it has been discovered that Zinfandel and Primitivo are the same varietal as the Croatian grape, Crljenak Kastenlanski. That’s a tongue-twister even if you can figure out its pronunciation. For convenience sake we’ll stick with the Zinfandel handle.
California’s Grape
The Zinfandel often gets disrespected when compared to Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir. This can be attributed to the fact that the spicy black grape is one of the state’s most widely planted varieties, ranking second after Cab and has had a long California history, not all of it stellar. Being associated to the insipid White Zinfandel can only direct acidic barbs in its direction rather than adulation. Don’t underestimate this grape though, to the enlightened, Zinfandel is a dry complex red that is all jammy blackberries and plums that is laden with rustic briars, spicy pepper, tannins and big doses of alcohol. Zin’s can be concentrated bombs of fruit that are boysenberry pie or restrained burliness. California’s Zinfandel is grown in most wine regions within the state; Amador County in the Sierra Foothills, Napa Valley, Lodi, Paso Robles and Mendocino—each with their own character and style. But for the crème de la crème, knowledgeable aficionados look to Sonoma County Zinfandel wines where the black juicy variety is widely planted and comfortably makes its home.
Top Regions and their Producers
Within the large Sonoma County wine region there are a few sub-appellations that are nonpareil for Zinfandel. There are many large wineries and vineyard owners in the county but the majority are small, family-owned, independent and boutique wineries.
