Stuhlmuller Description
Stuhlmuller Vineyards, located in southern Alexander Valley, converges with two highly regarded Sonoma County appellations, Chalk Hill and Russian River Valley. On its eastern edge, the 150-acre vineyard borders the Russian River. Situated in a location that is part river benchlands and part hillside, the vineyard benefits from its alluvial gravel soils and the rockier soils of the hillside sections. At Stuhlmuller, two special blocks have been set aside for growing small amounts of Zinfandel and Petite Sirah. These vines are head pruned to augment the natural intensity of the hillside fruit. The budwood for this Zinfandel came from the prized 120-year-old Teldeschi clone, a legendary selection from Dry Creek Valley.
Bright ruby color is followed by aromas of blueberry, boysenberry, red raspberry, and enticing floral elements. The palate of this Zinfandel is medium bodied, velvety, and smooth with fine tannins, displaying notes of briary red and black fruit. The finish is underscored by notes of vanilla, hints of allspice, excellent natural acidity, and a vibrant finish.
