What a pleasure to get reacquainted with one of the great California Zinfandel producers through this delicious wine. Founders Bill and Nancy Greenough have passed the winemaking duties on to son Tom, and the family’s long experience with the eastern reaches of the valley shows in this wine, sourced from the Big Baldy Vineyard. Lively red cherry, cranberry, raspberry, pepper and spice aromas and flavors fill the senses, with racy acidity extending the well integrated finish. Tasting this is a grand hello from an old friend.
