Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The Folie Deux 2012 Zinfandel has aromas of blackberry jam with hints of balsamic vinegar, blueberry and mild black pepper notes. On the palate, flavors of black cherry, boysenberry and blackberry pie are interlaced with mocha, toffee and vanilla. The bright fruit flavors, balanced acidity and tannins are complemented by a soft, round mouthfeel and a long finish.

For a zesty pairing, serve the Folie Deux 2012 Zinfandel with grilled skirt steak and rack of lamb with caponata.

Professional Ratings

  • 93
    Licorice-licked blueberries grow wild on the palate, while pungent notes of sage, heather and mint sail on the rich velvet tannins. This red sings the praise of why Zinfandel can be such a superstar in Dry Creek Valley. Expressive and aromatic, the juice becomes more generous, the black pepper mellows and your palate is back for more.

Unapologetically bold, spice-driven and jammy, Zinfandel has secured its title as the darling of California vintners by adapting well to the state's diverse microclimates and landscapes. Born in Croatia, it later made its way to southern Italy where it was named Primitivo. Fortunately, the imperial nursery of Vienna catalogued specimens of the vine, and it later made its way to New England in 1829. Parading the true American spirit, Zinfandel found a new home in California during the Gold Rush of 1849. Somm Secret—California's ancient vines of Zinfandel are those that survived the neglect of Prohibition; today these vines produce the most concentrated, ethereal and complex examples.

Dry Creek Valley Wine

Sonoma County, California

A multifaceted and highly reputable sub-region of Sonoma, Dry Creek Valley is responsible for a wide range of wine styles—both red and white. One of the smallest AVAs in California, Dry Creek Valley has a winning combination of ideal geography and climate. Fertile, well-drained soils create concentrated varietal character while long, warm days, bookended by cool nights, allow grapes to reach full phenolic ripeness and balance. The warm and welcoming appellation is home to a number of family-owned vineyards and wineries that place a strong emphasis on sustainable farming practices.

Zinfandel reigns supreme here and still produces in a great number of very old vineyards—often 100 years old or older. These old vines create a powerful, voluptuous and sultry wine unlike those of any other region. Sauvignon Blanc, the valley’s signature white grape, also performs exceptionally well. Many other varieties grow comfortably here, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Syrah. Petite Sirah is often found in blends with Zinfandel.
