Kate's Vineyard Zinfandel

Very unique profile for a Zin. Lots of fruit in the fig and plum range, but it's got a tannic profile reminiscent of a coastal Pinot Noir. Lovely!

Young wine when we had it. Definitely got better as it opened up. Paired with salami cheese and crackers!

Smokey/maple flavors. Not jammy like most zins. Definitely better when allowed to breathe.

Muscular and well structured zin. Woody and gravely aromas give way to raspberry and dark plum fruit and a peppery finish with soft tannins.

Velvety texture with the smell of figs and taste of fig neutons. High alcohol level and lighter sweetness make this a standout from normal zins.
