Fritz Estate - Dry Creek Valley
During a recent wine trip to Sonoma I visited the
Fritz Winery in Cloverdale in the Dry Creek Valley of Sonoma. The winery has been making wine in for over
30 years. In addition to a number of Dry Creek designated wines they also
source grapes from vineyard sites in the cooler Russian River Valley.
Fritz Estate 2009 Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel
The
2009 Estate Zinfandel is made from 30 year old estate vines grown on a 5 acre
site on the valley floor that produces wines that are rich in color and flavor.
In this garnet hued wine, the aromas are of blackberry, black and red cherry,
wild berry, and earth tones. The body is well structured with a balanced feel
and elegant tannins. Flavors are of blackberry, and black and red cherry. This Zin stands up to grilled steaks or
burgers and provides a wonderful flavor profile.
Fritz Estate 2011 Dry Creek Sauvignon Blanc
The 2011
Estate Sauvignon Blanc is the color is light straw. The aromas are filled with passion
fruit, white peach, and citrus blossoms as well as tropical fruits. The taste
is centered on bright refreshing acidity, with flavors of white grapefruit,
guava and lemon which fill the mouth with a light mineral finish. Perfect to
pair with seafood and white poultry meats.
