2024 Southdown Zinfandel

The return of “Southdown” is a celebration of Dry Creek Valley in a glass - vivid, plush, and downright irresistible. Crafted from sustainably farmed Zinfandel, this 2024 vintage roars with a tidal wave of ripe blackberry, wild raspberry, and sun-warmed plum, layered over brambly spice, cracked black pepper, and an echo of vanilla from French oak aging. The palate is full-bodied and luxuriously smooth, balancing opulent fruit with well-knit tannins and a long, plush finish alive with spice. Winemaker Ross Reedy lets Southdown’s Dry Creek Valley heritage shine, using sustainable farming and minimal intervention to showcase striking varietal purity. Rich, fruit-forward, and unmistakably bold; perfect with anything flame-kissed: barbecued brisket, steak topped salad, or a light mushroom ragù over polenta.
