Deep-pitched dark berry preserve, licorice and floral aromas, with baking spice and cola nuances in the background. Sappy and round on the palate, offering bitter cherry and cassis flavors that are given backbone and lift by a spine of juicy acidity. A smoky nuance appears on the long, spice-driven finish, where velvety tannins provide gentle closing grip.
It is delicious now but will continue to develop beautifully over the next 5-10 years.
Our 2021 Zinfandel comes from our estate vineyard as well as several of our neighboring vineyards. The 2021 Zinfandel shows layers of cherry aromas followed by black cherry and hints of vanilla and spice on the pallet. We aged our Zinfandel in American oak barrels for 18 months and bottled it unfined and unfiltered.
