Intense dark garnet. Aromas of blueberry, radon, prune and ripe orange. Hints of pepper guides you to very smooth and sophisticated long finish. William Knuttel puts his devotion and love into this Zinfandel. Well balanced and depth.

Appearance: thick blackberry in the center and deep red garnet around the rim. Nose: Dark chocolate with cherry chunks, natural red cherry fruit leather, black raspberry, sweet cigar. Structure: a rush of acidity is followed by lush and delicate tannins. Palate: there’s a deep ness to it. The nose and palate aren’t that different and all the fruit and dark chocolate don’t seem over extracted or overripe in any way. This is solid stuff that can probably hang on for a couple more years.

Dry farmed, elegant, restrained, the fruit is just right, it's short from being forward and it makes for a nice surprise after tasting so many Zinfandels packed with fruit.
