Opolo Mountain Zinfandel Paso Robles 2022
Opolo Mountain Zinfandel Paso Robles 2022
The 2022 Mountain Zinfandel comes predominantly from three of the most heralded sub-AVAs of Paso Robles—Willow Creek District, Adelaida District and Templeton Gap. The fruit from the Willow Creek District comes from two of Opolo’s estate vineyards: the main Opolo Estate as well as Dove Pond Vineyard.
Under the direction of winemakers James Schreiner and Chris Rougeot, the individual 2021 Mountain Zinfandel sites were hand-picked and fermented in stainless steel tanks and small open-top fermenters, all with attentive phenolic management to ensure optimal mouthfeel.
After fermentation and settling, the lots were racked to French (95%) and American (5%) oak barrels, inclusive of 25 percent new oak. In the winter, lots with common characteristics were blended and returned to barrels for seamless integration. After 10 total months of barrel aging, Schreiner and Rougeot assembled the final blend to create this latest chapter in the story of the Opolo Mountain Zinfandel.
The resulting wine delivers the trademark Opolo Mountain Zinfandel style: rich, bold, fruit-forward and always lively through the finish.
