A richly styled Zinfandel that might convert some Cabernet lovers to the variety with its plush texture and mix of red and black fruit. Mild pepper, vanilla and spice join mid palate, and all the elements join in the nicely integrated finish. Try serving it blind instead of a Cabernet sometime and see what happens. A Platinum Award Winner at the 2018 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
