NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Ghost Block Pelissa Vineyard Zinfandel is a beautiful expression of a classic varietal.On the nose, aromas of blackberry jam, clove, and baking spices are immediately present, while the palate brings ripe black cherry and raspberry flavors, along with a hint of pepper and earthiness. The tannins are soft and supple, with a long and lingering finish. Enjoy this delicious Zinfandel now or store it for a few years to let the flavors come together and develop further complexity.
