Note di degustazione
This was a tough variety in 2017 due to it ripening during the time of the heatwave, yet this team made a terrific 2017 Zinfandel. Brought up in one-third each of new, once-, and twice-used barrels, it has classic Zinfandel brambly herbs, blood orange, candied citrus, and bright berry fruits. Medium-bodied, juicy, and elegant, it has a distinct saltiness that’s going to make it shine on the dinner table. Drink it over the coming 7-8 years or more.

The 2017 Zinfandel is soft, fruity and easy to enjoy, with delicate floral notes and Asian spice. This is pretty but also a bit lighter than before. The 2017 has good aromatics and plenty of varietal character.
Already bottled, the 2017 Zinfandel (100% Zinfandel) was aged for 16 months in French oak, 34% new. Medium garnet-purple colored, it gives up flamboyant cherry pie, raspberry preserves and blueberry compote notes with touches of Chinese five spice, Sichuan pepper, dusty soil, dried flowers and underbrush. Full-bodied, relatively taut and chewy, it sports bold freshness on the palate, laden with spicy red and blue fruit preserves, finishing long and perfumed. 1,123 cases were made.
