Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Zinfandel opens with a mild wet stone and blackberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced and fresh. The flavor profile is a juicy black raspberry and blackberry blend with notes of black pepper. I also picked up some hint’s purple jellybean in the aftertaste. The finish is dry, and its fruit and mild tannins are nicely extended. This Zin would pair well with barbecue steak tips. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: A vibrant blend of old vine fruit, this aromatic wine offers layers and layers of rich, fruit flavors and spice. Juicy raspberry, blackberry preserves, and a touch of dried cranberry are balanced with spicy notes of cinnamon and black pepper that merge with a lengthy finish.
