Classic Zinfandel from a great vineyard site, carefully guided to life to maintain the pepper character desired in a food friendly expression. Deep black fruit, classy spice and singing pepper flow together in the mouth, and finish bright and invitingly tart. This will go long – if you haven’t aged some Zinfandel in your cellar, this is a worthy starter. A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Monterey International Wine Competition.
