2017 Zinfandel
92 PTS. Wine Enthusiast
This estate Zinfandel is blended from two blocks on the property, one is head trained and the other is trellis trained. The head trained block is named "Zoe" for our granddaughter. We like the ring of Zoe's Zin. The trellis trained block is named "Carey" for our Winemaker. This is Carey's favorite block on the property as it contains two of his other favorite varietals, Grenache and Mourvèdre in addition to Zinfandel, his go to varietal where he first began to really hone his craft of winemaking.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
This wine is a brilliant garnet red color, with a bouquet of floral raspberry, and intense dark cherry. The palette has concentrated flavors of baking spices, vanilla and dried hibiscus. The tannins encase the palate and provide a balanced structure to give the wine texture and richness.
