Region: Russian River Valley, Sonoma, California

Composition: 100% Zinfandel

History: Day is the Zinfandel project of Ehren Jordan, the winemaker behind such amazing labels as Turley, Neyers, and Failla.  When he purchased a St. Helena property back in 2004, he knew he wanted to plant grapes on the hillside.  After a few years of pondering, he decided that the locale was ideal for one of his early loves in the vine world – Zinfandel. Ehren established his reputation as a talented vigneron during his tenure at Turley and Day is a return to those roots.

The Vineyard: El Diablo vineyard, situated in the northern part of the Russian River Valley AVA, has a long and storied history.  Planted to mixed blacks on clay loam soils, the site has been farmed continually by Hector Garcia since it was planted. Hector knows the ins and outs of developing head trained vineyards, and together with Ehren’s Zinfandel expertise we expect some wonderful wines coming from this marvelous site starting with the 2015 vintage.
