2007 D Cubed Zinfandel Napa Valley
Product Description
From 4-H beginnings, to an enology degree at UC Davis, and after stints at Grgich Hills, Storybook Mountain, Rombauer, and Frank Family Vineyards, Duane David Dappen ("d" cubed!) launched his own Napa Valley label with grapes from the now esteemed Black Sears Vineyard. An unabashed zinfandel lover, he left Frank Family officially in 2002 to devote the majority of his time to this project. Duane also consults for Howell Mountain's Bravante Vineyard and Chiles Valley's Brown Estate.
2007 is a wonderful year here in the Napa Valley. Napa Valley had a long cool summer with just a little heat at the end to ripen Zinfandel grapes with great intensity and excellent acid balance. The D-cubed Cellars 2007 Napa Zinfandel is classic in the greatest sense of the word. This vintage is produced from 4 vineyards, all in the Napa Valley. Brown Estate in Chiles Valley, Korte Ranch in St. Helena, Cypress Ranch in Pope Valley and Slaybaugh Ranch in Howell Mountain.
The 2007 Napa Valley Zinfandel has blackberry and cherry fruit with hits of nutmeg black pepper and cigar box. This medium bodied zinfandel has wonderful balance of acid, tannins and alcohol and flavors of berries, spice and Herbs de Provence. This Zinfandel is lovely now, but with a little more age it will really shine.
