ROBERT PARKER REVIEW: A stunning wine is the 2006 Zinfandel Fanucchi-Wood Road Vineyard (100-year-old vines in sandy loam soils). This dense ruby/purple-colored wine shows notes of black raspberry, sweet cherry, roasted herbs, pepper, and soil notes. It is full-bodied, powerful, with head-spinning levels of alcohol (15.8%). The wine has terrific purity and should drink nicely for 4-6 years.
The Hartford Russian River Valley Zinfandel is a blend of old-vine, dry farmed and low yielding Zinfandel vineyards from the Russian River Valley. The average vineyard age is about 85+ years. Zinfandel grown in the Russian River Valley is distinctive due to the region’s cool maritime influence, which promotes bright, natural acidity and vibrant fruit aromas and flavors. These dry-farmed vineyards, planted on low-fertility soils consistently produce wines of exceptional density, and extraction. To preserve exotic spice and sweet berry flavors, we use the same gentle handling techniques for making Zinfandel that we use with Pinot Noir.
