Winemaker Comments:
The 2010 vintage of Heritage Zinfandel
presents an excellent cool vintage aroma profile of blueberry,
red currants, earthy dustiness and mineral nuances. The low
alcohol nature of this wine shines through immediately with
silky smooth tannins and a firm grip of natural acidity and
balance. The fruit is substantial with layers of black cherry,
mixed berries, currants and allspice. This Zinfandel is superbly
balanced and satisfying, repeating the earthy, mixed berry theme
while also carrying forward subtler hints of white and black
pepper. The finish lingers on creating a mouth-watering desire
for another sip.
