Deep ruby in color, this Zinfandel opens with expressive aromas of blackberry, ripe raspberry, and black cherry layered with notes of black pepper, baking spice, and subtle vanilla. The palate is full-bodied and plush, delivering jammy dark fruit flavors supported by smooth tannins and balanced acidity. Hints of cocoa and spice add depth without overwhelming the fruit. The finish is long, warm, and satisfyingly bold.
