Nose
chocolate covered maraschino cherries,
which leads into notes of strawberry preserves,
vanilla extract, and caramel.
Palate
cherries jubilee, classic briar, a hint of tobacco, and a
pinch of delicious chocolate mocha.
Winemaking
This Zinfandel was cold soaked for five
days, then went through primary
fermentation with two daily pump overs to
dryness. Only the free run juice was
extracted and barreled down to once used
American oak from our Chardonnay
program. The wine was aged in barrel for
one year with no racking to maintain bright
fruit and to preserve the soft and supple
tannins.
Aging
American oak
Appearance
deep ruby core color and a hints of purple on
the edges.
