Note di degustazione
From vines planted in 1968 in granite, the medium ruby colored 2017 Zinfandel Esola Vineyard has a bright nose of nectarine, sour cherries, desiccated rose petals, tree bark and autumn leaves with nuances of citrus peel and dried flowers—lifted and fresh. The palate is medium-bodied and fruity on entry, segueing to spicy layers, with a firm frame of lightly chewy tannins and great freshness, finishing long, peachy and fresh.

Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, chocolate, leather, menthol and licorice all flesh out in the 2017 Zinfandel Esola Vineyard. Dense, pliant and inviting, the wine impresses with its exceptional balance and pure class. Zinfandel planted on St. George rootstock on this site with red clay over decomposed granite soils yields a wine of real distinction. The Esola was aged entirely in 600-gallon barrels, which seems to allow the fruit to be super-expressive.
