| Henehan Hills 2002 Zinfandel Sonoma County Tasting Notes: Big and jammy with spicy aromas of black pepper, nutmeg and toasty vanilla. The flavors are rich and concentrated with blackberry, cherry, and licorice leading the way. Has moderate tannins framing all of the berry flavors and spices. Awards: Silver Medal - San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, Grand Harvest Awards Food Pairing: Zinfandel is a classic match for dry-rubbed baby back ribs barbequed over charcoal. This red also pairs well with berry-glazed meats like pork loin. About the Winery: Introduced in the Fall of 2003, Henehan Hills was named after the Henehan family that cultivated the rolling green hills of County Clare in Ireland. These hills epitomize the coastal seascapes, small valleys and rolling hillsides that make up the Sonoma Valley appellation and represent the region where its grapes are produced. The unusual geography of the region has created nearly a dozen sub-appellations, each with its own combination of environmental influences. The growing conditions range from cool and foggy in the Carneros and Russian River Valleys, ideal for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, to the long, warm days of the Dry Creek and Alexander Valleys, which favor our Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Zinfandel grapes. The soil, geographic influence and climate of a region all contribute to a vineyard’s "terroir”. The Henehan Hills portfolio is selected with this combination in mind, sourced from the finest grapes produced in Sonoma County’s distinct growing regions – grapes that not only show true varietal characteristics but also bring forth the geographical influence of a single vineyard or sub-appellation. This passion and attention to detail has produced wines that truly showcase all that Sonoma’s talented grape growers and winemakers have to offer – and is the basis for Henehan Hills. Henehan Hills wines represent the best of Sonoma County, making them approachable, polished, supple and generous. They are perfect for drinking everyday yet offer a silky texture rich enough for special occasions, with a lingering finish that stays with you long after you’ve tasted it. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do! |
