This is a vivid and alluring Zinfandel with abundant fruit highlighted by juicy blackberry and dark plum layers, as well as hints of fresh-picked blueberry, mocha and dark chocolate. On the palate, luscious velvety tannins carry the wine to a lingering finish that concludes with just a touch of ripe berry sweetness and spice.
