On the pallet an array of plum and red berries play with a subtle black pepper tease and a lasting finish of vanilla cream. This is a rich 100% Russian River Valley Old Vine Zinfandel!!

Cattich Vineyard & checks in at 15.5% ABV! Lovely color. Ruby, rose red mixed with a slightly rusty edge. Smells purely Zin-fa-lucious. Berry pies, red and black fruits in the sun, leather in the heat of the day, raisin bread, jam, etc. Flavors are stunning. Savory prunes and meat dishes, rocks, tar, preserved cherry. This is classic coastal Zin well made and delicious.

Nice classic young singer. Concentrated chewy red fruit, will get balanced later on but for now still in your face. Steak at Grocery Outlet

Firat notes that come through are plum. Finishes with a sweet vanilla and hint of pepper.
