Wine Review: This dark red colored Zinfandel based blend from the Russian River opens with a ripe raspberry and boysenberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, slightly acidic and fruit forward. The flavor profile is a jammy red raspberry and pomegranate blend with notes of mild minerality and a touch of oak. The finish is dry and its mild dusty tannins fade away nicely along with its fruit. This Zin if food friendly and would pair nicely a roasted pork with sage, rosemary, and garlic. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Seemingly sweet, this wine is very round and full with lots of boysenberry, blackberry, and blueberry hints to it. The nice cool climate acidity gives the wine a good balance and structure. Enjoy it's long, elegant, spicy finish that fills the palate beautifully. A field blend of Zinfandel, Alicante Bouschet, Carignan and Petite Sirah.
