Aromas of black cherry, ripe plum and raspberry fruit combine with a hint of cigar box, and vanilla-oak baking spice loveliness. Smoothly textured in mouth, and the palate is very creamy and round, with a finish that is long with lush jammy fruit.

The bottling is a homage to old-vine Zinfandel-the grapes are indeed wild things. It is concentrated, with aromas of blackberry, blueberry, florals, molasses, black pepper and toasty oak on the nose. The flavors on the palate are ripe black plum, huckleberry coulis and allspice morphing into grilled orange slice, chicory and a dry long, finish. Decant and enjoy with a grilled portobello mushroom burger.

Notes of raspberry jam combine with a zesty, briary structure in this Zin, which also serves up roasted sage and green peppercorn flavors. The tannins firm up the finish. Drink now through 2029.
