100% Zinfandel. Aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, raspberry, dried fig, violet, Mediterranean herbs, and warm spice lead into a generous palate of blackberry, black cherry, red plum, and dark raspberry with notes of black pepper, licorice, dried herbs, and subtle earth. Dry with medium-plus acidity, medium-plus fine-grained tannins, medium-plus body, medium-plus flavor intensity, and a long finish, the wine balances ripe fruit with savory Mediterranean character and refreshing acidity. Rich yet structured, it offers a distinctive expression of Crljenak Kaštelanski, the Croatian grape genetically linked to Zinfandel, shaped by the warm coastal climate and maritime influence of the Dalmatian coast.
Food Pairing: Grilled lamb, roast pork, beef stew, grilled sausages, pašticada, roasted peppers, eggplant dishes, aged sheep’s cheese
