After crushing and de-hulling, the wine is placed in small open tanks and fermented with natural yeast for about two weeks. During this time, pumping is done twice a day. After pressing, it is aged for 15 months in French barrels (about 20% new barrels). Heritage clone planted in 1906. Low-yielding Zinfandel from old vines.
≪Details≫
Aromas of red currant, bright cherry and sagebrush are complemented by fleshy tropical fruits and cocoa powder. Fresh, bright acidity is balanced with rich, mellow tannins, and the wine develops layered flavors of raspberry and ripe red and black fruits with fragrant spice.
