About the Wine

Trig Point is produced by Nick Goldschmidt and his wife Yolyn. After flying the globe for many years as the head-winemaker for the likes of Simi, Allied Domecq, and Beam Estates, Nick decided to start a family company with his wife Yolyn in 1998. The goal of the company was to focus on site specific wine making from great vineyard sites from around the world. Having produced so many world class wines from around the globe, Nick knew exactly from which vineyard sites he would choose to make his wines.

The wines Nick and Yolyn Goldschmidt produce are all single vineyard, handcrafted, small production, artisan wines.

Nick says, “A “trig” has been used for many years to establish boundary lines. Trigonometrical stations were set on the top of hills and used as surveying sites. Just as my father was a land surveyor and used these trigs as a reference, so do I when it comes to well known vineyard sites.” 

Nick's famous resume includes many brands that are well known to American consumers. He's made wines at Simi, Cloudy Bay, Clos du Bois, Atlas Peak, William Hill, Buena Vista and Gary Farrell, in addition to his own brands called Forefathers and Goldschmidt.

This 100% Zinfandel aged for 12 months in 20% new oak.

  • Fresh black cherry fruit aromas, with black pepper accents.
  • Shows juicy blackberry, blueberry, and raspberry flavors.
  • Beautiful depth and concentration with soft and supple fine-grain tannins.
  • Finishes with a touch of mocha.
