Description

The aroma profile of Zinfandels from this property is quite unique, marked by black and white pepper notes, licorice, spices and orange peel. The 2005 vintage is a great one. The wine has tremendous fresh fruit intensity with notes of blackberry and plum to accompany the classic pepper notes. Due to the second picking of lower brix fruit the wine has exceptional acidity. The tannins are soft and marry wonderfully with the freshness of fruit. It will be very enjoyable immediately and will show well for several years.
