Livermore Valley’s take on a quintessential California wine grape
There is a briskness in the air as fall marches on and it’s the perfect time to spice things up in wine country. In November, Livermore Valley highlights Zinfandel as the featured varietal. This bold and classic varietal is the number one planted grape in California.
The primary flavors include jam, blueberry, cherry, plum, boysenberry, cranberry and licorice. Other aromas you may be able to pick out are black pepper, black cardamom and anise. Tannins and acid are generally medium to medium high.
The long days of summer and harvest are coming to a close. The vines are turning vibrant fall colors and this is the perfect time to get out and enjoy Livermore Valley.
