Mauritson Wines Grower’s Reserve Zinfandel 2023 Review
The Mauritson family has been growing grapes in the Dry Creek Valley since 1868. But it wasn’t until the 1990s that the family started producing and bottling wine of their own. Zinfandel is at the heart of what they do, and the Growers Reserve bottling — made from a selection of distinctive vineyards across the Dry Creek Valley — showcases Mauritson’s commitment to the grape. Aged for 14 months in 100 percent French oak, it opens with notes of vanilla and baking spice. The mouthfeel is an exceptional balance between rich, ripe berry fruit and acidity.
