The Character
Tasting Notes This is a quintessential Mendocino County Zinfandel, full of dense black cherry flavors, lively tannins, and a touch of mesquite on the finish. Blended from the shady, west-facing blocks on the home ranch and richer, more tannic fruit from old vines at our Road D vineyards, this is a hearty wine to pair with barbecue or spicy pizza.

The Story
In 1996, Frey Vineyards produced the United States’ first certified Biodynamic wine. Frey Vineyards’ Biodynamic wines are made from our premium estate-grown fruit, fermented with native indigenous yeast and produced with no added sulfites. Our low impact winemaking techniques preserve and protect the terroir of the wine, highlighting the subtle flavors of the vineyard site and vintage. No cultured yeast or malolactic cultures are added. Our Biodynamic wines are never subjected to acid and sugar adjustments or flavor enhancements, upholding the authenticity of the wine. Because the wines are not manipulated to reach certain flavor profiles, each batch is unique to the fruit and farm. The result is a portfolio of wines that are pure and delicious and mirror the richness and beauty of our land. All Frey Biodynamic wines are estate-grown and bottled in accordance with Demeter Biodynamic and USDA Organic regulations. Of Worms and Wine: Frey Vineyards’ Innovative Water Reuse System - Read More
