Very limited. Since you have purchased some of the entry-level Zin, you get first, and likely only dibs on this single-vineyard offering. Reply to order. I will allocate if needed Monday at noon. I don't really have any notes on this... I only have 24 bottles and it will fly based off reputation alone!



Ehren Jordan Wines Day Zinfandel Grist Vineyard 2015

Sale $37.99 net

No review - The entry level is 92 pts WS

"Named for the old grist mill that was found on the property, Grist sits pretty at 1000 ft. elevation on Bradford Mountain in the Dry Creek Valley AVA. The site was originally planted 100 years ago, and has since been replanted in the early 1970s. Farming here is CCOF Organic. 

The 58 acres under vine are head trained and cane pruned, and have spectacular views of the fog line by the Pacific Ocean. Iron-rich, red volcanic soil lead to low yields and concentrated wines. Peak temperatures in the summer time tend to be in the low to mid 80s, allowing for gentle and complete ripening without raisining."

I also still have the regular available...

Name sound familiar? Ehren Jordan?

Well, if you are a lover of Zinfandel, it sure should. Ehren was the winemaker at Turley Cellars for the better part of his 18-year tenure from 1995-2013. He left to focus on his own winery, Failla, which has risen to become a top producer of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah. But once you’ve fallen in love with Big Zin, can it ever leave you? Obviously not! Ehren has four acres planted to Zin in St. Helena, and while he waits for those to mature, he has hit up some of his old sources and friends to put together a Sonoma County cuvee that’ll knock your socks off!

Oh, and yes, in the picture above you do see single-vineyard Zins as well. We will be getting those at some point. And guess who will get first dibs?

I’ve been lucky over the years to have had many a bottle of Turley, so I recognized the similarities straight away. It starts with the heady, intoxicating nose, loaded with raspberries, blackberries and a whiff of pink peppercorn. Lush fruit follows, with dense boysenberry, blackberry and other brambly fruit. The finish is where you see the Turley influence – Jordan holds all the fruit together with a graphite-like minerality and fine tannins. As delicious as this is now, I would say it will be at its best in another 3-4 years. But at the price, why not grab some for now and some for later?

"Bold and rich, with a lively, structured core, plus black raspberry and pepper aromas, and ripe, zesty black cherry and sweet black licorice flavors. Drink now through 2026. " Wine Spectator
