Description
The complexity of our Old Vine Zinfandel lies in the spicy notes that are unique to these historic properties. This vintage presents alluring aromatics of blackberries, dried cranberriesand a hint of mocha and nutmeg. On the palate, brambly layers of ripe boysenberry, raspberryand dark chocolate come forward. The wine is complex, with bright acidity complimented by a long, lingering finish of black pepper. The tannins are velvety and smooth to lend a round,rich mouthfeel.
