ZD has long been among the Napa Valley’s classiest wineries, famous for its elegant Chardonnay and show-stopping Pinots. The 2012 Founder’s Reserve Pinot represents the epitome of ZD’s Pinot prowess, exhibiting a complex nose of red fruits and earthy forest floor. The wine is beautifully structured, showing outstanding depth and layered complexity, finishing with a gentle grip on the back end that bodes well for a long life.
