El Portal, California (United States) 2017

Apr 16, 2019

By Michael Franz

 Based on 80% Zinfandel with the balance comprised of other unspecified varieties, this I a gutsy but tasteful red with lots of flavor but no rough edges.  The core of red berry fruit is fully ripe but still pure and fresh, with nice brambly accents and a touch of spice.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 San Diego International Wine and Spirits Challenge.
