El Dorado County Sierra Foothills California
Lava Cap is regarded as one of the premier Zinfandel producers in the Sierra Foothills. The 2022 Zinfandel reflects Lava Caps’ goal of creating wines that have ample concentrations and depth, but also expectational balance. Rather than the jammy and brambly flavors so often associated with this grape, this wine shows elegance, with vivid red fruits, great acidity, and moderate tannins. All hallmarks of high elevation expressions of these grapes. The wines balance and brightness make it perfect for Tri-Tip, hamburgers, or Italian food. The grapes are handpicked at moderate sugars and fermented in stainless steel. Aged 24 months in François Frères French oak barrels.

The El Dorado AVA has always been known for high-elevation Zinfandel. The highest peaks are at 2700ft, so the fruit is rich and concentrated but with full flavors that are not saturated. The fruit is ripe in this selection, with bramble raspberry, blackberry, clove, and floral notes on the nose. The flavors on the palate are boysenberry, dark plum, grilled orange zest, chicory, and dusty tannins to finish. Aerate and Drink. — Tonya Pitts
