Russian River Valley Zinfandel by Matrix Winery – Premium 2022 Red

2022 Estate-Grown Zinfandel from Sonoma’s Russian River Valley
🏆 Double Gold Medal Winner at 2024 Sonoma County Harvest Fair

Savor the essence of California’s premier wine region with this handcrafted Zinfandel from Matrix Winery’s certified organic estate vineyard in the Russian River Valley. Designed for both immediate enjoyment and long-term aging (2-4 years), this medium-bodied red strikes a perfect balance between approachable fruitiness and refined structure.

Palate Profile
Velvety tannins harmonize with dark berry nuances—black raspberry, boysenberry, and wild currant—layered with subtle baking spice and cracked black pepper accents. The 14.8% ABV provides warming depth without heaviness, making it ideal for casual dinners or celebratory gatherings alike.

Why This Zinfandel Stands Out
✅ Award-Winning Terroir: Grown exclusively in our 15-acre hillside vineyard with volcanic loam soil
✅ Dual Enjoyment Potential: Drink now (bright acidity pairs perfectly with grilled salmon or pepper-crusted steak) or cellar to unlock deeper jammy fruit complexities
✅ Sustainable Craftsmanship: Certified organic farming practices since 1998 ensure every bottle reflects our commitment to environmental stewardship

Serving Suggestions
Uncork 1-2 hours before serving at 62-65°F to fully express its aromatic bouquet of crushed blackberries and licorice root. A versatile companion for charcuterie boards, hearty pasta dishes, or simply enjoyed solo as an evening wind-down ritual.

Note: Limited availability due to small-batch production methods employed at our family-owned winery.
