A serious wine (and seriously delicious!) this Zinfandel incorporates the vinous equivalent of a soprano’s high notes harmonizing with the thrumming, sonorous music of the bass voice. Just as a full musical chorus is filled with an infinite spectrum of beautiful sounds, this wine embodies a vast range of thrilling aromatic, taste and textural sensations. Its many attributes include fruit, spice, richness, and subtle, palate-refreshing tannins.
