Winemaker’s Notes

The long hang time of this vintage yields a mincemeat pie fruit that benefits from a mixture of oak types: American oak in preponderance for its vanilla, French oak for its spicy cinnamon and nutmeg, and Hungarian oak for its roasty, smokey notes.

Great color with a straightforward dried cherry and fresh ground pepper nose make this a very appealing food wine. This is a mouth filling, full textured Zin that will age well for 3 to 5 years.
