NOTES: The grapes for Lava Cap's Zinfandel are sourced from a selection
of estate and neighboring vineyards within the El Dorado
AVA. These vineyards are situated at elevations ranging
from 2,400 to 3,200 feet on the western slopes of the Sierra
Nevada and are planted primarily on volcanic soils. Many
of the vines are over 45 years old and represent a mix of
heritage Zinfandel selections. The combination of elevation,
volcanic soils, and mature vines produces wines with
concentrated fruit, natural balance, and vibrant acidity.
WINEMAKER NOTES: Lava Cap is recognized as a leading producer of Zinfandel
in the Sierra Foothills. Our 2023 Zinfandel reflects our
commitment to crafting wines with both concentration and
depth while maintaining exceptional balance. Rather than
the jammy, brambly style often associated with Zinfandel,
this wine emphasizes elegance, showing vibrant red fruit,
lively acidity, and moderate tannins, hallmarks of high
elevation Zinfandel. The wine’s balance and brightness
make it an excellent pairing for tri-tip, hamburgers, or
Italian cuisine. The grapes are handpicked at moderate
sugar levels, fermented in stainless steel, and aged for 24
months in François Frères French oak barrels.
