Ken & Derek Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 2012
About the wine
High Rated Red - 90% Customer Approval
- Fleshy, spicy Dry Creek Zin with pure brambly fruit and soft oak overtones. A lot of balance on this one.
- Ken and Derek were working with different parts of the same vineyard and they decided to combine their skills to make one epic wine together. This is a collaboration between two fantastic winemakers.
- This was a relatively small lot and both Ken and Derek have a lot of Angels following them so you'll have to get a taste before it all runs out.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Ken Deis & Derek Rohlffs
- This is a perfect example of the interaction and camaraderie at your customer-funded winery in Sonoma. These winemakers were working on two separate zins until they tasted each other's wines and couldn't resist a little blending session.
- Ken Deis and Derek Rohlffs make excellent wines independently and when their powers combine, they are an unstoppable force of nature.
- This is the first time we've had a winemaker collaboration on this scale so let us know how you like it -- should we encourage your winemakers to play together more often?
