2021 Neal Family Zinfandel, Rutherford Dus, Napa Valley, California

2021 Neal Family Zinfandel, Rutherford Dus, Napa Valley, California

Midnight black and violet in the glass, it looks brooding, but it sings aromatically of winter wild strawberry preserve, maraschino cherry, black currant cordial intertwined with baking chocolate, salted caramel and dried tobacco leaf. Broad across the palate, it is a balanced wine with vibrant acidity, enticing brambly fruit and subtle earthiness with a long finish.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

Mark Neal has been walking and working organic vineyards almost daily for over 54 years. In 1966, he started as a farmer working alongside his parents on their Napa Valley farm. His love of the land, working with family, and producing small batches of wines was instilled early by his father.

This upbringing of growing organic grapes inspired him, in 1998, to build Neal Family Vineyards, which is wholly owned, farmed, and operated by his family, a rarity in the winemaking world. Today, working beside several of his children, he handcrafts exquisite and complex Cabernet Sauvignon from his estate’s biodynamic and certified organic vineyards in Howell Mountain and Rutherford.
