The 2023 Zinfandel from Lake County is a vibrant and expressive wine that beautifully captures the unique characteristics of this region. It displays a deep ruby color, hinting at the richness to come. On the nose, this Zinfandel bursts with bold aromas of ripe blackberries and juicy plums, complemented by a spicy undercurrent of black pepper and a touch of clove, adding complexity and intrigue.

The palate is full-bodied and lush, delivering layers of dark fruit flavors intertwined with notes of vanilla and mocha from the oak aging.

The texture is velvety, with well-integrated tannins that provide structure and lead to a warm, lingering finish that echoes with hints of cinnamon and tobacco.
