Bramble equals spice and this wine has the bramble. The nose exudes red berry, black cherry and a hint of rum raisin. The palette is soft and supple with reserved tannin. Aged in 100% American oak barrels, 30% new. This is a very food friendly wine with structure for cellaring until 2014. Zinfandel’s charm is its spicy ripe flavors and aromas of red berries and jammy black fruits. This Zinfandel represents all of those qualities.
