WineDiva's Review

Luscious, delicious, spicy.
Lake Sonoma Winery is a business venture co-founded by Quails' Gate CEO Tony Stewart. The Lake Sonoma label was established in 1977, but the Valley of the Moon estate and winery Stewart purchased is over 150-years-old (1863) - a true piece of Californian history.
The grapes for the wines are all sourced from sub-appellations of Sonoma, in the case of this Zinfandel, Dry Creek, which is basically sandwiched between the more northerly Alexander Valley and below by the Russian River Valley.
This Zinfandel offers luscious black raspberry, cherry jam, mocha, pipe tobacco and vanilla on the nose. Mouth-filling and fruit-driven, it is a delicious Zin with great backbone and long spicy finish.


Pairs great with Gone Crackers Blue Cheese & Cracked Pepper
