title: Joseph Jewell 2007 Grist Vineyard Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
description: This rich, spicy Zinfandel defines the Dry Creek style. It's fruit-forward in briary, brambly berry and currant flavors that have hints of anise and chocolate, and is dry, with sturdy tannins and a balancing cut of acidity. Very enticing. Only 150 cases were produced, but it's worth a search.
variety: Zinfandel
designation: Grist Vineyard
