This is acid driven zin. Reminiscent of a big Morgon. Earthy, savory finish along with crisp, bright red fruit. Transparent in a way zin rarely is. Souvenir from my visit to Berkeley.

Now this is more like it! Overripe berries, roast-y but still light, maybe caramel? Dry and juicy at the same time. 🍷

Like a dark, smoky, watermelon Jolly Rancher. Just trust me on this one.

Not your typical jammy Cali Zin. Low in alcohol and fresh.

Slightly more restrained Zinfandel than many CA styles - only 13.5%. Less refined than the Mathiasson zin, and that is more precise and delicious. But this is characteristically peppery and has good fruit. Maybe slightly muddy on the finish.

Fruity and herbal aromas of brambly raspberry, kumquat, rosemary, and black soil. Finesse and elegance from a typically showy grape. Everything Broc does is awesome. Plus they have the best labels.

Light zin that pairs well with food at Chez Panisse!
