Red Wine by De Loach from Russian River, California. Using estate grapes and selected fruit from growers in the Russian River Valley, the Russian River Valley series of wines represent the heart and soul of Deloach Vineyard's offerings. Consistently award wining and satisfying, the wines exhibit an elegant fruit-forward flavor profile unique to this appelation. Our Russian River Valley zinfandel is a blend of five zinfandel ranches planted between 1895 and 1934. Located within one mile of the winery, these vineyards comprise the heart of the De Loach Estate. With careful vineyard management, these head-pruned vines grow in light soils and produce intense fruit from very low yields.

Red Wine by Fife from Russian River, California. Uplands refers to the many hillside and benchland sites around Lake Mendocino which are home to cherished small blocks of old red vines, many tended by the third generation of their original founders. Vine age and continuity of production are testament to the quality of these fortunate growing sites. To a great extent, these vines are self-limiting in yield and ripen smaller crop loads to mouth-watering intensity. It is exciting to utilize these older sites in a blend that expresses the best of Mendocino fruit. The flavors of strawberry compote come forward and define this Zin. Petite syrah and Carignane add structure and tannin along with wild berry zest and spice. With its soft entry, luscious fruit and spice flavors, and easygoing appeal, our Mendocino Zinfandel blend is a versatile companion to a wide variety of cuisines.
