Winemaker Notes
Dark garnet core, magenta rim. Ripe black cherry, Asian apple, spun sugar, grenadine, effervescent citrus, rose garden, English trifle, blooming gardenia. Medium- to full-bodied with a lush, juicy, enveloping palate. Silky glycerine-like mouthfeel is balanced by vibrant acidity, with cedar box and sandalwood notes adding depth. Finely integrated tannins contribute to a long, lingering finish.
A great match with herb-crusted lambchops, pasta puttanesca, grilled portobello mushrooms, Chicago style deep dish pizza, French onion soup, duck breast with berry reduction, bacon & herb-stuffed pork loin, savory bread pudding.
Blend: 100% Zinfandel

Zesty and vibrant yet slightly brooding at the core, with expressive flavors of blackberry and cherry highlighted by licorice and fruitcake spices as this builds structure toward full-bodied tannins. Drink now through 2032.
