Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Vibrant ruby red with a dark core and deep purple hues. Sweet tobacco, blackcurrant, raspberry jam, cocoa powder and cigar box. Flavors of cherry, cranberry, raspberry tart and blackberry compote highlighted by notes of sweet cedar and baking spices. Opulent and satisfying, this medium-weight wine is balanced with bright acidity, integrated tannins and a lingering finish.

Pairs well with grilled lamb or beef burgers, lasagna and other baked pasta dishes with red sauce, dried jack cheese, or aged gruyère.

    A most delectable wine, the 2014 Beran California Zinfandel simply drinks well. The wine offers ripe berry jam, some wood, and a smooth and succulent palate texture. Its soft finish makes a nice choice with light appetizers or even by itself. (Tasted: April 3, 2017, San Francisco, CA)

For Beran (pronounced ‘baron’), we rely on new vineyards along with old-vine plantings. We are honored to work with some of the most world renowned multi-generation Zin growers in notable Zinfandel regions. Home to extraordinary fruit in places like Sonoma County, Napa Valley and the desolate Sierra foothills of Amador County, California’s climate produces Zinfandels worthy of the grape’s long and illustrious history.

California is a winemaking colossus; by itself it is the fourth largest producer in the world. Red wine accounts for 56% of the total by volume, and red grapes 63% of total acres planted. In addition, a number of California red wines are heralded as being among the most prestigious and sought-after wines in the world.

While the state’s incredibly diverse geography, soils and microclimates allow for a wide array of styles, the key factor unifying California red wine is the abundance of sunshine and a long, consistent growing season. This leads to well-developed fruit marked both by impressive ripeness and balancing acidity.

The state’s most famous red wine region, of course, is Napa Valley, where Cabernet Sauvignon reigns as king. But California boasts a wealth of other impressive appellations. The much larger and climatically varied Sonoma County also produces world class California Cabernet, along with wonderful examples of California Pinot Noir and Zinfandel.

Fine versions of Cabernet and Zinfandel hail from Paso Robles as well, which is also gaining fame with Rhone varietals like Syrah and Grenache. As for Pinot Noir, terrific examples can be found from AVA’s such as Anderson Valley, Carneros, Santa Lucia Highlands and Sta. Rita Hills. Wineries in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties are making wonderful Syrahs, and the Sierra Foothill appellations are proving to be an experimental hotbed, with Italian and Spanish varietals employed to great effect.

This of course is a mere sketch. The subject of California red wine is as deep and broad as an ocean, and absolutely a joy to explore!
