Deep ruby color pleases the eye as the glass is lifted. Exuberant full tilt wafts of raspberry and blueberry pie hit first, underpinned by exotic spice aromas of nutmeg and mace. Vanilla bean and peppercorn round out the classic array of Zinfandel scents. In the mouth the wine is both rich, round, and resolute in its forthrightness, being a true expression of grape and location. These west Paso Robles, Adelaida District vineyards deliver a strikingly flamboyant and showy Zinfandel while also maintaining beautiful purity, balance, and finesse, which can be attributed to the rare limestone-based soils. Overall a wine of fun and style, offering plenty of classic blue and black fruit with a racy and juicy mouthfeel.
