The 2022 Vintage

A late spring frost and severe ongoing drought naturally restricted yields across the Dry Creek Valley in 2022, concentrating the vines' energy into a much smaller crop. This intense water stress yielded minuscule berries, resulting in a Zinfandel blend of profound structural density and elevated aromatic complexity that perfectly balances the year's warm, early harvest.

The Fulham Wine Co Take

This brilliantly bypasses the jammy, high-alcohol traps of standard California Zinfandel to deliver a thrilling, highly energetic field blend that completely redefines the category. It is an absolute masterpiece of historic winemaking that provides serious, sophisticated drinking pleasure for those who value structure over sheer weight.


Ridge Vineyards

Perched high in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Ridge Vineyards is an absolute titan of historic California winemaking. Famous for their unwavering commitment to pre-industrial methods, the estate champions single-vineyard expressions, dry-farming, and total transparency through their pioneering ingredient labeling. Whether crafting electric, old-vine Zinfandel from Sonoma or their legendary, Bordeaux-rivaling Monte Bello Cabernet Sauvignon, Ridge relies on native yeasts and minimal intervention. These are fiercely traditional, structurally monumental wines of unmatched pedigree, delivering breathtaking complexity, intense savory depth, and spectacular cellar longevity.

Sonoma County

Sonoma County is California’s most dynamic wine region, defined by its rugged coastline, ancient redwood forests, and intricate patchwork of microclimates. Stretching from the fog-drenched Sonoma Coast to the sun-baked Alexander Valley, this expansive terroir is shaped by intense maritime influences from the Pacific Ocean. This dramatic cooling effect allows for a spectacular range of world-class wines, from electric, precision-driven Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to structurally profound Cabernet Sauvignon and ancient-vine Zinfandel. Sonoma remains the soulful, agricultural heart of American winemaking, delivering masterpieces of breathtaking purity and terroir-driven elegance.
