Spot-on Zinfandel – one that needs a little time for all of its charms to show. Tightly wound red fruit, dill and fall spice are just starting to peek out from the bold structure. It will come around with a long decant or a few years of rest. Serve it with grilled meats or medium strength cheeses. A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
