Boeger Winery Walker Zinfandel 2022 Review
Not all Zinfandel comes from Napa and Sonoma. The grape has been on the West Coast for so long that it can be found all over the state of California. This Zin comes from the high elevation El Dorado AVA, tucked into the Sierra Foothills. The majority of the fruit for this wine is sourced from the Walker Vineyard, a site that dates back to 1980. The area’s history is deep, so it makes sense that Zinfandel lives in these hills. This wine has nice, deep aromas of black plum and cherry on the nose with a touch of oak and some pepper. The palate is calm with soft tannins and a juicy core of fruit.
