E H C. only deep red soil on the property. The head-trained vines Our unique situation produces fruit that is intensely varietal without the monstrous tannins often associated with mountaintop Zinfandel. We picked our Zinfandel on fairly warm days so that the crushed fruit hit the tanks hot and extracts color before any alcohol was produced. Once fermentation began, the temperature was lowered to preserve the aromatics and avoid harsh seed tannins. This wine was delicious on the vine, during fermentation, throughout its time in barrels, and it hasn t missed a beat since. It sings with aromas of black cherries and violets., Kuleto Wine Clubs BIG FISH CLUB $224 3-Bottles not including tax or shipping 1-Bottle 2007 Estate Syrah.. 1-Bottle 2006 Frog Prince Cabernet Sauvignon 2-Bottles 2008 Zinfandel 1-Bottle 2006 India Ink Cabernet Sauvignon SOUTHERN KINGFISH CLUB $128 1-Bottle 2006 Native Son Cabernet Sauvignon 2-Bottles not including tax or shipping 1-Bottle 2008 Zinfandel y the time you receive this letter, Harvest 2010 will be done. As I write however, we are scarcely a third of the way into it. The cool ripening season has continued since our last communication and we are tracking 2-3 weeks behind last year. Fortunately, Mother Nature has been kind to us up here in the mountains and we have experienced no weather-related problems. Harvest is my absolute favorite time of the year, and the daily rhythm that develops over the course of 6-8 weeks is a joy to be part of. Today is a pretty typical day at Kuleto and one that perfectly illustrates the benefits of an experienced vineyard and winery team. After years of working together, we are able to communicate with little more than a nod or a gesture. If the quality so far is any indication, 2010 will be an extraordinary year! Sugars and flavors are tracking in tandem, which translates to ripe flavors and balanced alcohols the perfect storm! Thanks to the cool growing season, the aromas and colors are unbelievable! By the end of next week, we will have brought in all of our Moscato, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, the majority of Syrah and Sangiovese. Most of our Cabernet family varieties are still a ways off. We will keep our eyes on the weather reports and hang the fruit as long as possible. With a little luck, all fruit will be in the barn by the first week of November and everything will be pressed out by Christmas. I look forward to sharing our new wines with you on your next visit.
