Winemaker Notes
Sourced from organically certified Zinfandel vineyards, these grapes get a lot of sunshine for full ripening and flavor development. Some Petite Sirah is incorporated into this wine to offer more structure. This Zinfandel has a full, yet round mid-palate with a pleasant lingering finish. Flavors of plum, blackberry, and spice with soft tannins. Enjoy this fruit-forward wine with your favorite pasta dish or grilled meat entrée.

Roasted red-plum, fig-jam and black-pepper aromas show on the classical nose of this reliable bottling. The wine lands with a bit more heft on the palate, hitting quick with tannins before the fresh blackberry-jam, anise and chiseled rock flavors arise.
