1994 York Creek Zinfandel

As in the three previous vintages, York Creek grapes formed relatively late in spring. A long summer’s warm but moderate temperatures ripened all the zinfandel by the fourth week of September. Race Track and the small House Block, both planted in the sixties to the nineteenth-century Picchetti clone, provided ninety percent of the fruit. The rest is from new plantings on Kite Hill and the very old vines at Lake. Dark, rich, and firmly structured, this fine zinfandel will be at its best over the next eight to ten years. PD (12/95)
