100% Zinfandel. Pours a deep, nearly opaque purple in the glass. The nose is brooding and expressive, with layers of black cherry, blueberry, blackberry, bramble, violets, anise, baking spice, clove, charred wood, and vanilla. On the palate, the wine shows plenty of ripe fruit, with notes of strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, and dark cherry, accented by a subtle touch of mocha and spice. This is a dry wine with medium acidity that keeps the richness fresh, and medium tannins that are soft, plush, and well-integrated. The mouthfeel is smooth and weighty, giving the wine a medium-plus body. Flavor intensity is generous, leaning toward medium-plus, with concentrated fruit balanced by spice and oak influence. The finish is medium to medium-plus in length, leaving behind lingering dark fruit and mocha notes. Overall, this Zinfandel is a plush, fruit-forward expression that balances its richness with approachable structure and depth.

Food Pairing: BBQ ribs with smoky sauce, Grilled sausages with peppers and onions, Pepperoni or meat-lover’s pizza, Blackened chicken or Cajun-spiced dishes, pulled pork sliders, Mushroom risotto with truffle oil, aged cheddar or smoked gouda, Dark chocolate with spice or sea salt
