Dry Creek Valley Produces Top Red Zinfandels
PittsburghLIVE.com:
On a recent glorious morning in northern California, a group of winegrowers, journalists and wine merchants gathered on the outdoor patio of Quivira Estate Vineyards & Winery to analyze why the Dry Creek Valley sets the benchmark for red zinfandels.
On the discussion panel were legendary winemaker Paul Draper of Ridge Vineyards, Fred Peterson of Peterson Winery and John Akely of Roberts of Woodside Wine Merchants. They cite two chief factors: Diverse but generally infertile and well-drained soils, and a climate affected by maritime influences and unique topography.
Dry Creek produces some tasty Zins, but the Russian River also produces many fine Zins as well. This low-production Hartford Court (2001 Highwire Vineyard) is a prime example.
