ZAP - Zinfandel Advocates & Producers
Unmask Your Passion for Zin!

January 28-31, 2009

" Unmask Your Passion" reflects our enthusiasm for America's Heritage Wine--Zinfandel. It's about the excitement we feel when we discover a Zinfandel new to us or taste a barrel sample from the latest vintage of one of our favorite wineries. "Unmask Your Passion" also reflects the personalities of Zinfandel--bold and celebratory, independent and unpretentious, refined and elegant, versatile and diverse. Zinfandel's true nature is sure to reveal itself to you during the four days of Zinfandel events.

ZAP's Zinfandel Festival is an internationally recognized series of tasting events. Renown as the premier single-varietal tasting in the world, an estimated 275 wineries and over 10,000 attendees partake in the four days of Festival events. The ZAP Zinfandel Festival is held exclusively in San Francisco, and traditionally is a sell-out. (read more...)

Gabe's View, Wine: Reviews, Thoughts, & Culture
Gabe Sasso

The next stop for the 12 Days of Zin, takes me back to Dry Creek Valley. At three years old the Del Carlo Winery is a fairly new operation. However the two families involved in it (Del Carlo & Teldeschi) have deep roots in Sonoma County. Different branches of the family have been winemakers, growers, farmers and/or residents of the Dry Creek Valley dating as far back as 1929. And in fact some of the Zinfandel vines they still farm and get fruit from are over 100 years old. They’re not joking when they say “Old Vine.” (read more...)

Root Cellars
Zinfandel - America's Grape

The 2005 Del Carlo Zin is produced from 89% Estate Old Vine Zinfandel and 11% Petta-Serra (Petite Sirah). The shot of Petite is pert-near common in the DC Valley given the grape's ability to add a bit of rustic body and deep-purple color to even the biggest Zins. The wine spent 10 months in American oak barrels and was fermented (technically) dry although the ripe, robust fruit and bright, blackberry infused finish would have you thinking otherwise...(read more...)

92 | Del Carlo Winery

Del Carlo 2006 Old Vine Zinfandel (Dry Creek
Valley); $32. H e r e 's a very dry, tannic young
Zinfandel that shows real depth and complexity. It has the rugged mouthfeel and spicy, peppery flavors that mark a good Dry Creek Zin. The fruit suggests wild black, blue and red berries. Drink now.

July, 2010 issue

91 | Del Carlo Winery

From a branch of the Del Carlo-Teldeschi family that purchased their 50-acre Home Ranch in 1947, Ray Teldeschi makes this wine from vines that are more than 100 years old. It's a restrained style of Dry Creek zin, dense and gracious at once, full but not fat. Dark cherry ruit plumps up the tannins in the finish, with a balance that will serve the wine well as it ages.
