  • Loxton Answers to Student Questions
    1 Student questions: Chris Loxton’s colloquium on “Science and the Art of Winemaking” 1/11/17 Question 1: What are the most common mistakes that rockies make? Rookies sometimes make the mistake of making too much wine, or making a style of wine that they like, but which not enough consumers like, and in both cases, they can’t sell enough money to keep up cash flow and then get into financial difficulty. I sometimes also see inconsistency in style. Without the proper training, they make a few good wines, but then in a bad year (with rain, for example), make some mistakes and the wine quality is less, and then they can’t sell it fast enough and again this leads to cash flow problems. Question 2: I would have never guessed that the surrounding temperature and allitude has a lot to deal with what kind of wine you will be making. What areas in Arizona would be ideal for wine making? An ideal climate would have not so much rain in late summer near harvest, very little frost danger in Spring, and enough water to be able to irrigate when necessary and not be too hot in summer (the degree day requirements for grapes mean that you want just enough heat for ripening, but not too much). All this means that there are areas in the foothills south of Tucson and other areas in Southern AZ that are suitable, and some near 3000 foor elevation near Sedona, for example, that should be suitable. Question 1: What are the characteristics of a high quality grape (i.e.

  • White Zinfandel
    Beringer Classics WHITE ZINFANDEL VINEYARDS The coordination between viticulture and winemaking teams is essential when choosing fruit, to achieve the optimum level of avor and balance in the wine. The vineyards selected for the Beringer Classics wines are bathed in warm sunshine the majority of the day, to yield the most ripe, sun-kissed fruit avors in the grapes. WINEMAKING NOTES Winemaking begins in the vineyard and often peaks with the harvest of the grapes that have been carefully tended all year long. Grapes for the Beringer Classics White Zinfandel were picked at the peak of maturity and brought into the winery for gentle crushing. By keeping the juice in contact with the grapes’ red skins for approximately three hours, a light blush color was retained. Beringer’s winemakers then used slow, cool fermentations to preserve the vibrant, fresh strawberry, honeydew, and citrus aromas and avors. TASTING NOTES In making Beringer’s White Zinfandel, the focus is to highlight the fresh red berry, citrus and melon aromas and avors, and round them out with subtle hints of nutmeg and clove. The wine has a youthful exuberance that is enjoyable as a sipper on its own, or with a variety of dishes. Alcohol: 10% Beringer Classics wines boast some of the best-selling wines in the country.

  • Zinfandel– the Survivor Varietal
    Fall 2016 A WINE ENTHUSIAST’S QUARTERLY JOURNEY THROUGH MONTEREY’S WINE COUNTRY STORE HOURS – The Survivor Varietal A lot of false information gets tossed out there regarding Zinfandel Zinfandel from those who know what they’re talking about A Taste of Monterey or those who believe they know what they are talking Cannery Row about. "It’s originally from California, no it’s from Italy… Sun-Thu 11am-7pm It’s a different varietal from Italian Primitivo, no it’s the Fri-Sat 11am-8pm* same… White Zinfandel is made from a different varietal than red Zinfandel wines… It’s only grown in California… Food service begins at It’s not able to be grown in Monterey County… All of the 11:30am daily old Zinfandel vines were pulled up long ago in California." Let’s start with the grape’s origin. The varietal has been *No new member tastings grown in California since the mid-1800s and is one of the after 6pm state’s oldest varietals. But the varietal is not native to Cali- fornia It was brought during the Gold Rush days. It could have come from Italian immigrants, who knew the grape by a different name – Primitivo, named after the varietal’s tendancy to ripen earlier. (Yup, they are the same, and the varietal had been grown in Italy’s Apulia region - the “heel” of the country - for at least a hundred years prior to its introduction to the New World). But the grape is not native to Italy either. The varietal can be traced to what is now Croatia, and is called either Crljenak Kastelanski or Tribidrag.

  • 2019 Turley Zinfandel Rosé, California $18 We Select a Few of Our Zinfandel Vines to Pick Early (At 19 Brix) to Make This Vivid, Dry, Delightful Rosé
    2019 Turley Zinfandel Rosé, California $18 We select a few of our Zinfandel vines to pick early (at 19 brix) to make this vivid, dry, delightful rosé. This old-world re-imagining of California’s infamous rosé wine was conceived of by Larry’s eldest daughter, Christina, while she was still working as a sommelière in New York City. The idea of a dry Zinfandel rosé (which Christina lovingly and cheekily refers to as “white zin”) was, at first blush (heh) heartily rejected by Larry; imagine an expletive-ridden “when pigs fly.” Once Christina returned home to work for the winery, she could hound Larry from a shorter distance, and he finally gave in. The first vintage was 2011. The tiny production was offered to a group of select restaurants, and it sold out in a matter of hours. Since then, we’ve made just a few cases every other year, and its popularity remains high. Indeed, Christina credits the success and impact of the Turley “White Zinfandel” as the impetus behind her landing on Forbes’ “30 Under 30” list in 2014. The wine is fermented completely dry using only natural yeasts, and finishes fermentation in 100% used French oak barrels. We— Christina especially—are thrilled to have finally made enough to be able to offer our beloved “White Zin” to our mailing list for the first time ever! Delicate, pale pink rose petals, cherry blossom, peach fuzz and melon abound on the dynamic nose. Juicy mouth-watering acidity with an elegant, nimble texture on the palate, and a well-structured and thoroughly refreshing finish.
