De Loach Zinfandel image

De Loach Zinfandel

California, USA

Zinfandel is one of those grapes - exuberant, juicy, and prone to over-ripeness, but when done well it has warming fruit and the barest hint of dark restraint. Delicious.

De Loach Zinfandel comes from California’s Russian River Valley, a cooler climate area known for producing Zinfandels with balanced acidity and ripe fruit concentration. This wine combines old vine intensity with a smooth, polished style, reflecting decades of experience from one of Sonoma County’s pioneering producers.

Aromas of blackberry, raspberry, and subtle spice. The palate is rich and full-bodied, offering flavours of black cherry, plum, and a touch of vanilla, supported by soft tannins and a lingering, peppery finish.

Contains sulphites.

  • Barbecue ribs
  • Spiced sausage pasta
  • Aged gouda
  • Grilled portobello mushrooms
  • Pulled pork sandwiches

De Loach was founded in the 1970s and played a key role in revitalising California’s Pinot Noir and Zinfandel plantings. Their Zinfandel draws from some of the oldest vines in Russian River Valley, combining heritage with careful winemaking to create a wine that balances boldness with elegance, a true reflection of the region’s terroir.

Looking for something similar?

  • Seghesio Sonoma County Zinfandel - from £36.99
    An expressive burst of deep dark fruits lead into a layered, lucious mid-palate. Juicy and vibrant with mint, fresh plums and supple, textured tannins. Big, bold and deserving of its hefty bottle!
  • Zensa Primitivo - from £14.99
    This is a big and powerful red wine, very dark red in colour. The nose has plenty of dark fruit aromas, plums, black cherries, chocolate, dried fruit and slight herbaceous notes. The palate is full, dense and rich with intense and sweet, ripe fruit.
  • Zensa Nero di Troia - from £13.99
    This deep coloured wine is rich and full-bodied, with intense blackberry and blueberry fruit, along with smokey dried fruits and mocha notes. A great match with lamb or hard cheese.
