2014 Beringer Winery Exclusives Zinfandel

The 2014 vintage was as phenomenal as its predecessors with notes of raspberry, blackberry, and spice tones that can only be found in Zinfandel from Red Hills Lake County.  

 

VINEYARD NOTES

Beringer’s Clear Mountain Vineyard lies on the north side of Cobb Mountain in Lake County’s renowned Red Hills AVA, an hour’s drive northeast of upper Napa Valley. Red volcanic soils laced with rocks, including huge chunks of obsidian, set the stage for warm growing days perfect for richly flavored Zinfandel. Cooler nights allow the grapes to rest, extending ripening until Zinfandel with intensity, complexity and layers of flavor emerge.

VINTAGE NOTES

The memorable 2014 vintage touch-points: a three-year drought continued, winter rainfall was half the normal average. Spring rains in February and March arrived at the right moment to get the growing season off to a stable beginning. Lake County picking began one week to 10 days early, and proceeded at a rapid pace. Summed up, 2014 was demanding, but fruitful, a beautiful vintage with exceptional fruit resulting in memorable wines.

WINEMAKING NOTES

Vineyard lots remained separate from field to winery, allowing careful selection of distinctive wines reflecting the Red Hills terroir. To emphasize freshness, the wine was fermented in stainless and allowed to undergo 100% malolactic fermentation prior to finishing in mixed American and French oak for a year, with 25% new French Oak adding toasty oak spice & vanilla. After gaining complexity in oak for 14 months, Petite Sirah was married to the Zinfandel, enhancing mouthfeel and adding greater depth of flavor. It was bottled on April 21, 2016.

Livermore, Lake, Mendocino and Beyond

Lake County, which borders Napa County on the north side, is home to producers Hawk and Horse Vineyards and Obsidian Ridge, both of which make ageworthy, estate-grown Cabernets with luxury price tags. Napa-based Spoto Family Winesalso just released a premium bottling from here, Beckstoffer Amber Knolls Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. Closer to the coast, two Mendocino County wines are must-buys for their quality-to-price ratios: McNab Ridge Family Reserve Largo and the Barra Estate Grown.

Andy Beckstoffer expanded his land holdings in Lake County

And a little further north, vineyard mogul Andy Beckstoffer expanded his land holdings in Lake County, buying a 220-acre vineyard called Clear Mountain from Treasury Wine Estates last week. Beckstoffer owns several famous vineyards in Napa Valley including To Kalon and Dr. Crane, and now counts more than 2,000 acres in Lake County too.
