Winemaking notes
Established in 2001 in bucolic western Sonoma County, Avalon offers approachable, delicious wines of unmatched quality. Thoughtful vineyard selection from California’s top winegrowing regions combined with intuitive winemaking methods assure that Avalon wines are beautifully balanced and effortlessly enjoyable.
Viticultural notes
Crafted from Zinfandel fruit sourced throughout Northern and Central California, our grapes were picked during the cool night and early morning hours and delivered immediately to the winery to be de-stemmed and gently pressed into fermentation tanks. After seven to nine days of fermentation, the wine was gently racked into a combination of European and American oak for malolactic fermentation and aging.
Tasting notes
Dark berry and spicy notes entice the nose, while ripe plum, blackberry and a touch of blueberry flavors entertain the taste buds. Juicy and structured, Avalon Zinfandel is well balanced and has a long, velvety finish.
Pairing notes
Avalon ZIN and BBQ ... heaven together! Try with Memphis-style pulled pork, beer can chicken and smoked ribs
