Day Grist Vineyard Zinfandel 2017

Day Grist Vineyard Zinfandel 2017 is a strikingly refined take on California Zin, crafted in a cool, mineral-driven style that sets it apart from the more jammy, overripe examples often found in the category. Made by celebrated winemaker Ehren Jordan, this blend of 95% Zinfandel and 5% Petite Sirah draws on top vineyard sites across Russian River Valley, Dry Creek, and Alexander Valley, with a nod to the grape’s long and proud history in California wine.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, this wine shows a vibrant, polished character with a deep ruby core. The nose opens with blackberry, boysenberry, pepper, sandalwood, and dried spice, giving it a layered and inviting aromatic profile. The palate is equally expressive, with flavors of blueberry, cherry, and black pepper joined by tangy raspberry, more boysenberry, cranberry, and subtle licorice. Fresh acidity keeps everything in balance, while the finish is long, harmonious, and mineral-toned. This is a Zinfandel with enough structure to age gracefully for several years, though it already offers plenty of charm and complexity now.

Viininvalmistus
This wine is sourced from some of the finest vineyard sites in California’s Russian River Valley, Dry Creek, and Alexander Valley, regions known for producing Zinfandel with both ripeness and freshness. The blend of Zinfandel with a small amount of Petite Sirah adds depth, color, and structure. While detailed vinification notes are not provided, the finished wine clearly reflects careful selection and a restrained, precision-driven winemaking approach.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
A natural match for grilled lamb, barbecued ribs, roast pork, peppered steaks, or rich mushroom dishes, this wine also works beautifully with aged cheddar or manchego. Serve it slightly cool, around 16–18°C, to preserve its freshness and lift. Decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended if opening young, as it will help the aromatics unfold and soften the tannins.

Tuottaja
Day is closely associated with winemaker Ehren Jordan, a highly respected name in California wine known for his skill with Zinfandel and his ability to bring finesse and balance to powerful grape varieties. The estate’s reputation rests on showcasing a more elegant, site-driven expression of Zin, and this wine reflects that philosophy clearly. Within the region, Day has earned attention for proving that Zinfandel can be mineral, structured, and sophisticated rather than merely rich and jammy.
