ABOUT THE WINE
Winemaker's Notes
The Bridgehead Zinfandel is consistently the most refined and elegant of the several Zins that we produce. 2001 Bridgehead Zinfandel has notes of spice and black pepper combined with bright blackberry. The wine is firm and deep with notes of chocolate and toasty vanilla. Benefiting from a fine-grained structure of balanced acids and tannins, the wine will age beautifully for well over the next 5 to 7 years. Its claret-like style and intriguingly complex earthy-berry character make this one of California's most distinct and our most treasured Zinfandels.

Vineyards
The Bridgehead Vineyard, named for Bridgehead Road that runs adjacent to this treasured block, consistently produces one of our most individual and refined lots of Zinfandel. Planted by Italian immigrants well before the turn of the century, the Bridgehead Vineyard in Oakley, California is among this country's most historic. Ancient, 100 plus year old, head-trained and dry-farming and sandy soils combined that with a unique band of cooling air from the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers favors our Bridgehead Vineyard which together creates an incredible synergy of elements for expressing the unique character of this site.

"Loads of tar and blackberry aromas follow through to a full-bodied palate, with medium sweetness, big, velvety tannins and a long finish. A big, juicy wine.."
