A recent addition to the Zinfandel stable, and it’s a horse worth riding. Cooler climate Zins tend to maintain their pepper character in harmony with the fruit load, which is generously bramble and rich here, and the acidity balances the weight beautifully. Another winner from a great producer. A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
