Edmeades Zinfandel is a bold, expressive red from the rugged coastal vineyards of Mendocino County, Northern California. Known for its authenticity and sense of place, this wine reflects the distinctive terroir of the Mendocino Ridge, Redwood, and Ukiah valleys. Crafted using traditional, low-intervention methods, it highlights the pure expression of the region’s soils and climate. History & Philosophy Edmeades has been producing limited-bottling, site-driven wines since 1972, originating from the first modern-day vineyard planted in Anderson Valley by Dr. Donald Edmeades in 1963. Acquired by the Jackson family in 1988, the winery remains committed to natural winemaking: native yeast fermentations, hand punch downs, minimal manipulation, and no fining or filtration. This approach ensures each vintage expresses the unique character of Mendocino County. Winemaking The 2022 Zinfandel is fermented with native yeasts in small, open-top bins. After fermentation, the wine is aged for nine months in a combination of 57% French oak and 43% American oak, allowing for integration of spice and structure while preserving vibrant fruit. Tasting Notes The nose opens with aromas of baking spices such as cinnamon and cloves, leading to blackberries, black currants, and dried sage. On the palate, the wine is lush and round, with subtle, integrated tannins and balanced acidity, delivering a fresh and focused finish. Food Matching Pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty stews, barbecued dishes, and aged cheeses.
