2005 Coro Mendocino

Coro is the Latin expression that reflects the spirit of this project... many voices singing the same song. This is the first time in U.S. history that winemakers from a region have set blending and aging parameters for a wine distinctive to the area. Zinfandel is the dominant varietal of Coro Mendocino.

This Coro Mendocino ranked in the top five at the blind tasting! Rhône varietals, most notably Syrah, are the heritage of McDowell Valley with vineyards dating back to the turn of the century. Our Coro was created using the intense fruit and character from old vine McDowell estate grown Syrah and Zinfandel from the B-X ranch on the Talmage Bench. Operated by Jamie Williamson this sixty year old bench land produces some of the areas finest Zinfandel. The briary, jammy Zinfandel fruit complements the complex, elegant old vine subtleties and the symphony of the blend we hope will please palates for years to come.
