2018 Omen Zinfandel ‘Origins’ Sierra Foothills

WSI93 Burnt caramel, dark plum, slight notes of flint and earth – medium body and delicate fruit to match light fare.
93% Zinfandel from Sierra Moon Vineyard, Fair Play AVA, Sierra Foothills, California and 7% Petite Sirah from Element 79 Vineyards, Fair Play AVA, Sierra Foothills, California. Aged 9 months in French oak barrels.
Just south of Placerville, at an elevation of 2400 feet you will find the Fair Play AVA. High mountainsides and deep granite soils develop grapes for intense wines. It’s astounding to us that this area has been growing incredible wine grapes since the California Gold Rush, yet it is still a relatively unknown, untapped goldmine of high quality fruit!
