A complex mix of tart blackberries, baked plums, warm earth, fresh black cherries, anise, a slight note of red tootsie roll pop. On the palate, the wine is plush with great depth which is a testament to the zinfandel clone (Wente) and vineyard age. This wine has an expansive roundness that seems to push outward with power. The complexity of flavors mimics the nose, with a savory/spicy finish with grippy tannins that makes this a wonderful expression of Dry Creek Zinfandel.
