Zinfandel

On the nose, this Zinfandel bursts with aromas of ripe blackberries and juicy raspberries, complemented by a peppery spice that adds depth and intrigue. Subtle notes of vanilla and clove, derived from oak aging, lend a warm, toasty background to the vibrant fruit scents.

The palate is full-bodied and lush, with a generous display of dark cherry and plum flavors, enveloped in a velvety texture. The tannins are well-rounded and integrate seamlessly with a moderate acidity, leading to a satisfyingly long finish that echoes with hints of cocoa and a residual spiciness.
