Collection
Wattle Creek
Wattle Creek’s unique style of wines from the Alexander Valley is refreshing and inspiring, and an approach that beautifully complements DeLoach Vineyard's wines from the Russian River Valley and our wider Boisset Collection wineries in Sonoma, Napa, and France.
Story
Dry Creek Valley’s winegrowing history is one of California’s longest, reaching back 140 years. Dry Creek Valley’s microclimate is similar to the Bordeaux region of France. With both coastal and inland influences, long, warm days and cooler nights allow the Zinfandel grape to fully ripen and slowly develop and retain their structure and acidity.

Tasting Notes
A beautiful dark red color, this Zinfandel offers fresh aromas of raspberry, boysenberry and notes of cinnamon. A bold wine with structured tannins, flavors of strawberry and cherry are met with gingerbread and baking spice on the textured palate. There is a hint of toasted almonds on the long and lingering finish.
