The 2017 Cemetery Zinfandel is a rock star. The nose is well set up with dark black fruits, classic briary notes and sweet earthy tones. This Zinfandel is concentrated and harmonious for such an energetic wine. On the palate, baked blackberry and crushed rock tangle with fresh summer blueberry and spring lilac blossom. Hints of sweet wild dried underbrush marry nicely with the finish of ground espresso dust and cocoa. Despite being tightly wound, this wine shows incredible promise. Its intensity and focus will allow it to age beautifully over the next 10+ years.
