Palate
Plum, raspberry jam and blackberry flavors are supported with solid chalky tannins in this Zinfandel. Sultry cedar and spice accents linger on this captivating, long-finishing wine.
Growing Conditions
Dynamic raspberry, spice, white pepper flavors from grapes grown in Mendocino County, luscious blackberry and strawberry flavors from the 5% splash of Russian River fruit. Vineyards are mostly older, if not historic, and dry farmed with well-established root systems and low yields.
Harvest
Grapes are harvested from rocky, volcanic soils that force the vines to fight for nutrients and water
Winemaking
Lots are kept separate until the final blend so that our winemakers have the ability to craft a wine that exhibits the perfect marriage of complexity, flavors and aromas combined with a structured finish.
Aging
Aged in small French and American oak barrels, 11% new.
