Primarily Zinfandel with a bit of Petite Sirah (10%) blended in. Intense dark ruby/purple color. The aromas and flavors of black cherry/raspberry, blueberry, rose petals, black licorice, fresh herbs and pepper spice are equally as intense. Noticeable vanilla and pleasant earthiness on the long and lingering finish. Rich, complex, juicy and powerful (16% Alcohol) but nicely balanced. Quite memorable.

Initial alcohol hit but opens very nicely, leathery and full body. 2016 does not disappoint.

Loved this wine! Full body with a true bite, hence the perfect name ‘Rattlesnake’ Pricey but worth it for a special tasting!
