Grayson Zinfandel 2021

Alcohol: 14%

Grape(s): Zinfandel

Localization: Napa Valley, California, USA

Tasting Notes: The Grayson Zinfandel shows a dark color with rich mixed raspberries, strawberries, and brambles surrounded by hints of spice including black pepper and bacon. Intense richness carries through on the palate of this full-bodied wine with explosive blackberry and vanilla flavors. The wine’s finish is long and elegant.

The Domain: The founders of Grayson believe that we can put to work our Napa Valley winemaking skills to create some of the highest quality wines at the by-the-glass price point. We believe that decades of Napa winemaking experience will allow us to create a better bottle of wine at a better price point than what’s generally in the market today.

Their wines are carefully crafted by Larry Levin, who is among the most experienced winemakers in the Napa Valley. After completing his Enology degree at UC Davis, Larry spent seventeen years at Dry Creek Vineyard where over 18 vintages he produced more than 15 varietal wines. He has since covered the globe by making wine in New Zealand, Chile, and Australia across all price points and styles. For the previous nine years, Larry was head of winemaking at Icon Estates where he oversaw the Franciscan, Mt. Veeder, Robert Mondavi, Estancia, Ravenswood, Quintessa, and Ruffino brands. Larry also consults for wineries in the Stag’s Leap and Oakville districts in Napa and Sonoma.
