Description
Sonoma County has both the sunshine and warm days that grapes need to ripen, as well as the cool nights, ocean winds and fogs that preserve the freshness and acidity that create balanced wines. Zinfandels grown here are typically spicy and peppery with intense blackberry and black raspberry fruit, plus floral and brambly characteristics. This one from a leading producer will be a fine match for grilled ribs or steaks.

Tasting Notes
Blended from several appellations across the county and adding in 14% Petite Sirah, 6% Carignane and 3% other black grapes, this wine succeeds in combining brambly black fruit ripeness with black pepper spiciness, expanding across the palate with grace and power. Score - 90. (Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, Feb. 1, 2018)
