Day Zinfandel

Inspired by the climate and geology of Sonoma County and the statement Zinfandel has made on the region since the 1860s, Ehren has set his sights on vineyards of pedigree for the backbone of the Day lineup.  Much like Pinot Noir and Gamay (both of which are stacked high in Ehren’s cellar), Zinfandel is a varietal that offers clear transparency of terroir; true expression without need for undue fussing at the winery.

A student of Art History, Ehren has long nurtured a love of modern innovation’s reflection of past brilliance.  This has taken shape in his devotion to organic farming, use of native yeasts, and willingness to experiment with concrete eggs and kiln-fired, terra cotta amphora to ferment his wines.  For Day, the artisan approach continues with one of the oldest continually produced (and oft-maligned) grape varietals in the American wine world: Zinfandel.
