This Zinfandel is surprising light and aromatic - more in the style of Pinot Noir than Zinfandel. Because of the light and fruit-forward nature of this wine, I think this is a wonderful wine for Pinot Noir lovers to try. I rarely call a wine lovely, but that's what this wine is. Extremely balanced and easy-drinking, this wine is more along the lines of some of the lower alcohol wines we've seen taking favor with the new guard of wine-drinkers.
With names like Guinness and Jameson McFadden, it might seem odd that this family ended up in the wine business. However, over the years, McFadden's grapes have represented a significant portion of many award winning wines in Napa, Sonoma, and Mendocino counties. Unlike many organic farms, McFadden Vineyard was organic from the very beginning. These wines are made from organically grown grapes - meaning that at no time were any chemical fertilizers or pesticides ever used in the production of the grapes in McFadden's wines.
