Kenwood Winery was established in 1970 in Sonoma County, California,when a group of wine enthusiasts from the San Francisco Bay area restored the old Pagani Brothers Winery which had been originally built in 1906. The winery has its own 22-hectare estate but also sources grapes from elsewhere for its blends.

The grapes for this Zinfandel are drawn from Sonoma, Alexander Valley and Dry Creek, all excellent quality areas. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks the wine is aged for up to 19 months in a combination of French and American oak. Zinfandel is now regarded as one of California’s indigenous grape varietals, even if it may trace its origins back to Italy where it has a remarkable resemblance to the Primitivo.
