A difficult vintage for Sonoma/Napa, but we harvested before the big September rains and everything's clicking right now. Dark fruit, firm tannins and bright acid.

Dec 7th, 2014As much as I love selling this wine, I love drinking it even more, and doing just fine with our Lou Malnati sausage/mushroom pizza. Bold tannins and old-vine fruit!

Nice mix of flavors. The red berries eventually move out of the way of the better flavors: Licorice, moist tobacco leaves, bitter baking chocolate. Medium acidity.

Ripe red berry fruit, spice and a little earthiness on the nose. The tannin is a little gritty (in a good way) and surprising acidity. Everything I love about Zinfandel with structure that promises a long life.
