2003 Russian River Valley Zinfandel |

|
| |
WINE NOTES |
This old vine Zinfandel is the initial release by GiaDomella and comes from an
estate vineyard located along the Russian River owned by the E. Passalacqua
family under the guidance of winemaker Nick Goldschmidt. The land where this
historic vineyard is situated has been in our family for nearly a century and
has been owned in succession by our great-grandparents, grandparents and
parents. Grape growing and winemaking have always been a piece of our family
heritage. GiaDomella is a tribute to this heritage and is named after Gianna,
Dominic, and Marcella Passalacqua, the 5th generation of our winemaking family.
100% of the grapes are sourced directly from the 50 acre estate vineyard, with
the multiple soil types and microclimates lending themselves to this gloriously
complex and seamless wine.
Our 2003 Zinfandel is a bold, full-flavored wine with intense flavors of wild
berries and exotic spices framed by underlying notes of chocolate and coffee.
Enjoy this wine with spicy Barbeque, Pizza, Burgers, and Pastas. |
