From the wine maker: The 2011 wine has a deep purple color of substantial depth due to the contribution of 18% Petite Sirah which is also grown on the Massoni Ranch.  The hues are bright garnet.  The aroma is loaded with black raspberry, dark cherry and plum.  Seventeen months in small barrels has contributed a bouquet of cocoa, hazelnut and dark chocolate.  The flavors are soft and luscious and feature succulent red currants and raspberry.  The rich velvety texture along with mature well integrated tannins is the reason I often refer to the “Z” Zinfandel as my Pinot Noir of Zinfandels.  This marriage of fruit, oak and soft round tannins produce a deeply flavored yet eminently enjoyable Zinfandel.

Gerald at Weimax has it in stock. Go big, Go (Z)in!
