2022 SEAWOLF Red Triangle Zinfandel Mendocino

We conclude our spring allocation with our much anticipated 2022 SEAWOLF Wines Mendocino Red Triangle Zinfandel. The Red Triangle is a colloquial name of a roughly triangle-shaped region extending from Bodega Bay, out slightly beyond the Farallon Islands, and the Big Sur region. The Red Triangle is not only home to a very large population of marine mammals and their top predator, the Great White Shark, but also coincidentally has some of the greatest surf breaks in northern California.

As winemakers we wanted to offer a wine that reflects our desire to create a new experience with each vintage.  The 2022 vintage heralds from a single organically farmed vineyard located on the western ridge lines of Yorkville Highlands.  Planted to a mix of Zinfandel clones, Dupratt and Primitivo.  Only a single barrel made, this wine has enticing aromas of crushed black raspberry, violet, sweet spice, and Santa Rosa plum.  Full-bodied and elegantly structured with a superb core of ripe fruit and incredible freshness.  Bottled both unfined and unfiltered.
