This lively expression of Zinfandel offers aromas of dark plum, raspberry coulis, and sandalwood on the nose. On the palate,
flavors of baked strawberry, dried herbs, and ground pepper commingle, while ripe, firm tannins and fine acidity frame and
lift the wine into a long, unending finish.
Sourced exclusively from Frank Family’s Lewis Vineyard in Carneros. Here, the predominant maritime influence of the Pacific Ocean and San Pablo Bay creates the cool temperature, fog, and wind that make our vineyard site ideally suited for growing cool climate varieties. Lewis Vineyard consists primarily of shallow and dense clay loam soils that result in extremely low yields, producing grapes with strong character and balanced acidity.
This Napa Valley designate wine is cultivated from Frank Family’s S&J Vineyard in Napa’s Capell Valley from our long-term grower partner, Sunseri Vineyards in Chiles Valley, and small vineyard blocks in St. Helena and Calistoga. 17 months in 30% new French oak barrels, and 70% once- and twice-filled French oak barrels.
