2016 Steele Zinfandel Catfish Mendocino

WINERY NOTES



We utilize warm temperature fermentations on the Steele Catfish Vineyard Zinfandel. This is followed by 12 months aging in hybrid barrels. The hybrid barrels are unique in that they have alternating staves of French and American oak, which balance the unique flavors of this wine. With volcanic soil and wide variety of grapes in the field blend this wine tends toward a more brambly style. The wine provides a mouth full of bright red fruit, and many layers of jam, coffee, and eucalyptus along with good structure and balance.
