One of my favorite Zins. Such a unique site for the variety. Violets, applesauce and cinnamon on the nose. Juicy red fruit, dried herbs, fresh and balanced.

Balanced and acid driven approach to old vine Zinfandel. Superb effort Luke Bass. One of 58 cases coming our way

Sometimes I get a certain craving, and this more than satisfied. Giants game 5 victory helped too.

Lighter and less fruit-forward than many other Zins, with mild acidity and a distinct, almost sparkling middle taste. Definitely something special!
