2021 Herald California Zinfandel Red Wine Bottle

Discover the sophisticated elegance of Goldschmidt Vineyards’ Alexander Valley Zinfandel—a standout California wine crafted for those who appreciate balance and refinement in bold reds. Hailing from Sonoma County’s renowned Alexander Valley appellation, this 2021 vintage redefines Zinfandel with its cool-climate character, offering a polished alternative to warmer-region styles often marked by heavier profiles.

This wine captivates with lush dark cherry flavors upfront, wrapped in a velvety texture that glides smoothly across the palate. Subtle notes of spicy black pepper and cocoa add complexity without overwhelming its graceful structure. At 15.2% alcohol by volume, it strikes an impressive equilibrium—approachable yet layered enough for discerning palates seeking sophistication over intensity.

What sets Goldschmidt’s Zinfandel apart is its refined approachability. While many examples of this varietal lean toward robustness, this bottling prioritizes finesse through silky tannins and a lingering finish that highlights its cooler-growing-region heritage. Perfect for savoring alongside hearty meals or as an elegant centerpiece at gatherings where nuanced depth meets approachable charm, it’s ideal for wine lovers who value complexity without heaviness.

Crafted by winemakers who champion Alexander Valley’s unique terroir, this bottle delivers California’s iconic quality with an understated flair—making it a must-try for enthusiasts seeking polished Zinfandel beyond traditional boldness.
