What
can I add to that already written and rewritten by wine critics about our Zinfandel. I love the spicy briary fruit already so prevalent in this young wine, a perfect reason to drink it early. The hallmark elegance and grace
are packed with flavors of profound strength clear of the heaviness of warmer vineyards and a magnificent concentration free of the raisin tastes of uneven ripening. The extract, tannin and acidity beneath these flavors
ensure good cellar aging. 'A rare Zinfandel to cellar' Richard Nalley
