Appellation Sonoma County

Varietal Zinfandel

Winemaking In the cellar, the grapes went through a cold soak (with the berries intact) to capture the juicy fruit profile, followed by primary fermentation. Once fermented dry, the wine was racked to barrel for malolactic and aging for ten months in a diverse French oak barrel regimen of varying ages (first use to completely neutral) and sizes (barrique to puncheon).

The Character

Tasting Notes Lush and expressive, this Sonoma County Zinfandel opens with effusive aromas of boysenberry, cassis, and ripe plums layered with cocoa nib and sweet spice. The palate is vibrant yet silky, showing concentrated blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries framed by gentle tannins. A deep, chocolatey core and subtle mint and black pepper notes carry through a long, velvety finish.

The Story

Since our first vintage, Valravn Zinfandel has been based on old, bush-pruned vines averaging 40 years old (some over 100) across the county’s best appellations. The 2022 vintage is Zinfandel from two Dry Creek Valley parcels (one sandy loam, the other volcanic) and a Russian River AVA plot. We also included Petite Sirah and Grenache, which were cofermented with the Zinfandel for added complexity. Hand harvested, hand sorted, and gently destemmed before fermentation.

About Valravn

Producer Story

We have been making wine in Sonoma County for over ten years now, and along the way, established a dynamic network of friends and colleagues that includes vineyard owners, growers, and winemakers. While we successfully navigated the négoce market in the past, Valravn represents the next evolutionary step for us. Because of those forged relationships and friendships, we have exclusive access to grapes from fantastic vineyards and the team to oversee hands-on production from vineyard to bottle. We are proud of our past achievements and excited to realize the culmination of a decade of learning and focus, bringing authentic wines to the table that we have found, seen, and touched at every step.
