- Valravn Zinfandel is from old, bush-pruned vines averaging 40 years old (some over 100) across the county’s best appellations including Rockpile, Dry Creek Valley, Alexander Valley, and Russian River Valley AVAs. Hand harvested, hand sorted and gently destemmed before fermentation.
- In the cellar, a short cold soak was followed by primary fermentation in small lots using a combination of open and closed top tanks. The berries were kept in tact to capture the buoyant fruit profile. Following fermentation, the wine was barreled down for malolactic and aging for 14 months in French oak, 10% of which was new.
