Martha Stoumen
Mendocino Benchlands Zinfandel-Nero d'Avola Blend
Mendocino, North Coast, California, USA
Pretty unusual blend of Petite Sirah, Zinfandel and Nero d’Avola from different vineyards in Mendocino County. Fermented separately and then aged in barrel for 6 months. Beautiful, complex nose with notes of red and dark fruit. Cherry cola, cinnamon and some smoky notes. Fresh, medium-bodied. Tart red fruit, some blood orange. Great acidity. Fun, very enjoyable

40%petite Syrah, 37% zinfandel, 23% nero d’avola. Bright at the outset with undercurrent of dark fruit, but also raspberries, plums, and currants. The acidity builds with green apple picking up the finish.
