Winemaker Comments:
This vintage of Old Vine Zinfandel displays wonderful aromas of
white pepper, cardamom and black cherries. After a few minutes
in the glass, additional elements of tobacco, espresso and
chocolate begin to shine through. The essence of these old vine
vineyards are fully displayed on the palate with succulent
fruits such as plum, blueberries, and strawberries. The tannins
are smooth and well integrated creating a silky experience,
leading to a long and lingering finish.
