Since the 1870’s the Mauritson family has been growing grapes in the Dry Creek Valley.  Six generations and 130 years later we decided to take advantage of our own bounty and start making wine under the Mauritson label.  In 1998 the first vintage of Mauritson Dry Creek Zinfandel was produced and Mauritson Family Winery began.

We are open daily from 10-5.

2008 Mauritson Zinfandel, Dry Creek Valley (03/01/2010)
The 2008 vintage was an interesting one to say the least. It all started at bud break when we realized that the crop was going to be about twenty five percent smaller than normal. Combine the low bunch counts with the worst frost in forty years, a cooler than normal summer, and an unprecedented heat spell in September and we had the makings of a very interesting year! The good news is that the wines are beautiful. The bad news is that there are not a lot of them. Our production is off nearly forty percent. In a theoretical world, the 2008 Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel is like a mix of the 2006 and 2007 vintages. The nose is bright and centered. Aromas of ripe raspberry, fresh picked blackberry, cracked black pepper, and sweet oak mingle harmoniously. On the palate you feel the effects of the cool summer. The wine is focused, almost linear, and displays an amazing elegance. The balanced acid lifts the fresh berry fruits on the palate and ensures the wine will age gracefully and pair extremely well with foods. Please enjoy the 2008 Dry Creek Zinfandel over the next 4-6 years.
