Martha's Notes
For many years varietally ‘correct’ Zinfandel from the New World meant a wine that was opulent, oakey, higher alcohol, and often sweet with residual sugar. While that definition might suit some, my goal is to make wines that represent the territory where it grows in the most transparent way possible. Simply, I want to express my native state of California. If that means the wine isn’t ‘correct’ by some standard but instead captures the local essence of the varietal? Rejoice!
