Sitting low in the Russian River Valley with numerous Eucalyptus trees and wild herbs surrounding its outer edges, Bacchi Vineyard produces one of our most distinctive Zinfandels. It’s a true expression of terroir, a word that describes what different vineyard characteristics, such as climate, soil, and geography, bring to the wine. Every vintage of Zinfandel from this century-old vineyard is unforgettably unique and compelling. ORDERS@stfranciswinery.com
WINEMAKER NOTES – The grapes undergo a five-day cold soak before fermentation to extract optimal color and aroma. After primary fermentation, the wine is pumped into French oak barrels, 20% new, where it undergoes natural malolactic fermentation, followed by 16 months of aging.
