Yoakim Bridge Zinfandel 2017

Our Zinfandel shows most generously when poured, (not necessarily decanted), an hour or two before drinking. You can enjoy it with many meat and cheese dishes that are not overly seasoned. It pairs especially well with turkey, duck, ham and mild sausages.

Should you find yourselves with a few bottles next summer you scored the perfect accompaniment to an enjoyable afternoon on the porch or in the garden!

High winter rainfall delayed the start of vineyard work until soils dried in late spring. Once underway, growth was vigorous, with abundant canopies supporting a strong early season. A series of summer heat spikes culminated in a significant heat surge in early September. Earlier-ripening varieties were largely harvested before the hottest conditions, depending on vineyard location and exposure. Later-ripening varieties fared better, with time to recover.
