Beyer Ranch has historically been a premier Livermore Valley location for Zinfandel. The estate vineyards are planted on carefully selected sites on the sloping benches that lead to the banks of the Arroyo del Valle & Arroyo Mocho streams. Grapes from these Zinfandel vineyards produce lustrous wines with deep richness. Each vineyard was harvested separately & fermented in upright fermenters. Rack & return, which is the process of draining all of the free-run juice off the cap & then returning the free-run juice back over the top of the fermenter, was performed twice daily. This method increases the colour & tannin extractions & improves mouthfeel through the integration of oxygen. This Zinfandel has aromas of raspberry, cherry, vanilla & strawberry jam. With medium tannins, & rich mouth-filling dark fruit flavours enhanced by a hint of oak, this wine exhibits a long-lasting finish.
