Product Notes

Edmeades Mendocino Zinfandel is a rich, full-bodied red wine that is crafted from the finest Zinfandel grapes that are grown along the rugged hillsides of Mendocino County in California. This wine boasts a deep, intense hue, and has a bold and robust character that is highlighted by complex aromas of dark berries, spices, and oak. On the palate, the wine is lush and velvety, with flavors of black cherries, raspberries, and a hint of chocolate. The tannins are firm but not overpowering, and the wine finishes with a long and satisfying aftertaste. Edmeades Mendocino Zinfandel pairs well with grilled meats, rich stews, and roasted vegetables.

About the Winery

Edmeades

The history of Edmeades began with the endeavour and story of its founder, Dr. Donald Edmeades. Dr. Donald was a Pasadena cardiologist who started his venture by planting grapes in a tiny settlement area of Philo, located in the Anderson Valley. This act made him the first modern grapevine grower in the remote stretch of Mendocino County. However, the establishment of the Edmeades winery began with the effort of Deron, Dr. Donald’s son, in 1927.

Almost immediately after its establishment, Edmeades winery gained a reputation for the wines originating from Anderson Valley. It also amassed a significant amount of fame and interest for the lusty Zinfandels Mountain that acquired multiple high scores and gold medals from critics for its high quality. Edmeades aided the intense hillsides of Mendocino Zins to get launched as a famous site for growing superior standard grapevines. 

Edmeades winery was purchased by Jess Jackson in 1988. It made it one of the initial wineries to become a part of the portfolio under Jackson Family Wines. In 2012, Ben Salazar, the previous winemaker at La Crema and Carmel Road, started working in Edmeades and became its principal staff.
