2016 -Vintage - wasn’t as big a fan as most people on here - must have been picked late in the fort Ross -Seaview appellation but for me a little over-ripe (15.5 % abv) late picked boysenberry or boysenberry syrup heavy American oak in the background

I sell this wine, but it's sold out now, so I can say that it kicks ass.

Fun but not especially complex Zinfandel: drink with pizza.

Strong black pepper nose, with blueberry and jasmine. Wonderfully complex on the palate with dancing ripe red currants and blueberries. Amazing and delicious. Slight tannins and long, smooth finish.

Marionberry, chocolate and Blueberry jam nose. Smoked Sokeye salmon, peppercorn, abv @ 15% noticeable but not completely distracting.

Paired with a poor mans Cioppoino or "dads fisherman stew". The wine went well with the tomato and garlic base but didn't over power the delicate seafood.
