Winemaker’s comments
The wine shows good color density with youthful purple red hues. The aromas are enticing spicy, red fruits of raspberry and sour cherry with licorice and black tea spice. The palate delivers a full, yet supple wine with great raspberry and cherry Zinfandel fruit presence and richness of flavor. Enjoy with your favorite pasta dishes and grilled meats. Serve at 62°F.
