Winemaker Chris Eberle brings us this well reined in Zinfandel – one that delivers food friendly acidity and layered aromas and flavors without running off the ripeness rails. Raspberry, bright pepper and a little bay leaf are well knit together and the ride a supple grip through a long finish. Dare I say elegant and Zinfandel in the same sentence? In this case yes, and wholeheartedly.
