In 1978 Hank Wetzel produced our first vintage of Sin Zin and wine drinkers fell in love with the elegant,
balanced flavors of Zinfandel from Alexander Valley Vineyards. Four decades later Sin Zin is still charming
fans. Our 43rd vintage continues that tradition and to celebrate the richness of this wine, we’ve updated
the label to full color.
This vintage shows great color, enticing aromas and big flavors. In the glass there are loads of spicy, fruity aromas of dark fruits, blackberry, black cherry, black pepper, oak and a hint of vanilla. This aromatic wine has a solid core of dark fruit with rich spicy flavors of black cherry and blackberry, topped with black pepper. Sin Zin is a luscious layered wine
with great balance and a nice smooth finish.
Blend: Zinfandel 95%, Petit Sirah 5%
Everyone is always curious about the origin of Sin Zin’s label. Leafing through an old art history book, Katie Wetzel Murphy came upon a captivating illustration, a German etching, drawn by Moritz von Schwind around 1843. The image was titled: Des Knabben Wunderhorn, meaning “The Boy’s Magic Horn”. Katie thought the image looked perfect for a wine label, and its bacchanalian character inspired her to name our rich and robust wine Sin Zin. The first vintage debuted in 1978 and was given to friends and family. The label has been updated four times since that first vintage.
