DRG Daryl Groom Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 2020
About the wine
Daryl Groom's rich and complex Dry Creek Zinfandel is a super-rare Sonoma Coast gem
-
Superstar winemaker Daryl Groom has been making his top-class Sonoma Zinfandel for US Angels for going on 7 vintages now, with every single one rating 90% or higher. It’s a bold and deeply complex red from Sonoma’s most-coveted region for high-end Zin and this is the first time a shipload has made it across the pond, so we can’t wait for you to taste it.
-
In classic Dry Creek Valley style, this is a deep, dark, full-bodied Zinfandel with plenty of warmth and intense fruity flavour. You’ll get delectable notes of spice, cocoa, coconut and dark fruits, it’s almost like a rich fruit cake with the density of flavour. Yummy!
-
This is a super-rare edition of the DRG Dry Creek Zin and we’re lucky to have some in the UK. The 2020 vintage was devastated by bushfires, so Daryl had to call in some favours from other local grape-growers in order to secure enough fruit to make this wine. Even with the help, this was still a tiny vintage, so it’ll go like the clappers once word gets out that this luxurious Cali red has landed.
