Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Quickfire Zinfandel is rich, dark rose in color. The nose captures brambly blackberry fruit. Anise, blueberry and black cherry notes flow through on the palate.

The 2008 Quickfire Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel elegantly represents the varietal and the venerable Dry Creek Valley appellation. It is precisely balanced and offers the outgoing fruitful tones and spicy undercurrents so appreciated by Zinfandel fans.

Professional Ratings

    Rich and spicy, a Zinfandel for drinking with this summer's barbecue. It shows polished flavors of wild berries, currants, mocha, licorice and Canadian bacon.
  • 87
    Offers smoky wild berry and cinnamon aromas as well as juicy cherry, fresh anise and white pepper flavors.

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.

Home to a diverse array of smaller AVAs with varied microclimates and soil types, Sonoma County has something for every wine lover. Physically twice as large as Napa Valley, the region only produces about half the amount of wine but boasts both tremendous quality and variety. With its laid-back atmosphere and down-to-earth attitude, the wineries of Sonoma are appreciated by wine tourists for their friendliness and approachability. The entire county intends to become a 100% sustainable winegrowing region by 2019.

Sonoma County wines are produced with carefully selected grape varieties to reflect the best attributes of their sites—Dry Creek Valley’s consistent sunshine is ideal for Zinfandel, while the warm Alexander Valley is responsible for rich, voluptuous red wines like Cabernet Sauvignon. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are important throughout the county, most notably in the cooler AVAs of Russian River, Sonoma Coast and Carneros. Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Syrah have also found a firm footing here.
