Sonora

Sonora produces wine in California's Sierra Foothills, a region defined by elevation, diurnal temperature swings, and a legacy of Zinfandel cultivation. The winery's Linsteadt Vineyard Zinfandel exemplifies the varietal's character in this terrain: Zinfandel thrives in the foothills' warm days and cool nights, developing the ripe fruit and structured tannins the grape is known for. Wine Enthusiast has rated this wine at 84.7 points. The Sierra Foothills' volcanic soils and continental climate create conditions that suit old-vine Zinfandel particularly well, yielding wines with depth and complexity.
