Trione Zinfandel Flatridge Ranch
Trione
United States - California - Sonoma Coast

Flatridge Ranch is a secluded parcel in the coastal mountain range, west of the Rockpile AVA. Here, the Trione family planted a 10 acre vineyard in 2008. The vines are a unique Zinfandel selection called Saint Peter's Church, whose provenance is a 100-year-old block in Cloverdale, a small town north of Trione's Geyserville winery.

Sweet briar pipe tobacco and cigar box are the first impressions of this wine. Rich, velvety textured, soft and supple with concentrated flavors of plums, fruit leather and berry jam.

wine and spirits logo 250"This grows at a 10-acre vineyard, 10 miles from the coast, planted in 2008 with the St. Peters Church clone of zinfandel. It’s a complex wine, its structure and oak integrated enough that you could drink it tonight, even as the flavors keep developing with air, bringing cardamom and curry spice to the fleshy plum fruit, while mineral-inflected tannins keep it supple and dynamic.

wine and spirits logo 250"At six years of age, this wine is maturing nicely, its tannins relaxed, its zesty, youthful floral notes beginning to surrender into quiet and comfortable fruit. That fruit is chocolaty and rich, with coolness in its length of flavor. Pour it with roast boar. —J.G. (1,108 cases)"

jeb dunnuck logo 250"Spiced plums, allspice, candied orange, and flowery incense notes all emerge from the 2016 Zinfandel Flatridge Ranch. It's a medium to full-bodied, ripe, plump, enjoyable Zinfandel with silky tannins and a good finish."

wa88"Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2013 Zinfandel Flatridge Ranch has a savory/meaty note over a core of black fruits, dried mulberries, licorice and spice box. Full-bodied and powerful in the mouth, the rich, ripe fruit is lined with soft, plush tannins and just enough freshness, finishing a little hot."
