Steele Wines
Pacini Vineyard Zinfandel
Mendocino, North Coast, California, USA
It is simply amazing how well this wine has held up for 20 years considering it’s a Zinfandel. There is still plenty of fruit and structure. Some of the fruit is muted, but the color was on point and still pretty clear.

Jammy, velvety smooth & plenty of ripe plum/blackberry notes. Great value & always a successful recommendation to the CA Pinot Noir fiends I deal with on a daily basis!
