Alexander Valley Sin Zin Zinfandel

”this vintage marks 38 years of sin zin at alexander valley vineyards. Our first vintage in 1978 was given out to family and friends quickly attaining cult status among those lucky enough to receive a few bottles. Everyone loved the spicy flavors memorable name and risque label. The wine was so popular that in 1980 we offered a few cases for sale and sin zin quickly became a cult classic. Sin zin is an elegant style of zinfandel due to our growing region and winemaking style. We harvest grapes from throughout the alexander valley including the valley floor hillsides and benchlands looking for a balance of ripeness and acidity in each lot to showcase our valley. This balance explains sin zin’s restaurant popularity; it is always a food friendly style of zinfandel. The western drought continued in 2015 and was once again the topic of much discussion. A cool spring rain at bloom and a hot july along with the continued effects from the lack of rain contributed to lower yields. T
