On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and robust, with a plush texture that is balanced by a vibrant acidity and fine-grained tannins. The finish is long and resonant, echoing with nuances of dark chocolate and a whisper of dried herbs. This Zinfandel exemplifies the bold, fruit-forward style characteristic of its Californian roots.
