Vineryard Notes: The Chiles Canyon Vineyards cuvee is a blend of Zinfandel grapes harvested from three terraced mountain vineyards overlooking Chiles Canyon: Chiles Mill, Catacula, & Tip Top Vineyards. The vineyards are located at different elevations and different exposures.

  • Chiles Mill Vineyard, 900-1,200 feet elevation, 6.93 acres first planted in 1972
  • Catacula Vineyard, 1,200-1,400 feet elevation, 9.59 acres planted 1993-1999
  • Tip Top Vineyard, 1,700-2,000 feet elevation, 15.21 acres planted 1999
Winemaking Notes: Fruit was destemmed onto a shaker table and berry sorted into open top fermentors. A 3-day cold soak was followed by an approximately 10-dayfermentation. Aged 14 months in 70% American oak and 30% French oak barrels, 20% of which was new oak.

Tasting Notes: Juicy and approachable, this wine features all the hallmark aromas and flavors of the Green & Red estate. Enjoy bright cherries, pomegranates, fresh baked raspberry pastries, with hints of black tea, wild bay laurel and graham cracker.
