Wine that does not drink like a Zinfandel.

Lean and bracing style of Zinfandel, masterfully suited for Pinot enthusiasts, notably those who appreciate sweet and fruity flavors, with hints of raspberry, strawberry, and pomegranate, balanced by warm spices like baking spice and vanilla, alongside a delicate oak presence.

Wine with a charming blend of spices, a pleasing warmth, and a enjoyable nose.

What the web is saying

This Zinfandel offers a complex profile with rich fruit flavors like cherry and raspberry, balanced by spices and oak, featuring a smooth texture and long finish. While praised for its balance and appeal to Pinot enthusiasts, some find it atypical for a Zinfandel and question its value.

Voss Experts4.5

This Zinfandel showcases a deep garnet hue, indicative of its robust character. The nose is a symphony of ripe blackberries and plums, underscored by hints of black pepper and anise, revealing its complex aromatic profile. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied experience with velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity that balances the wine's inherent richness. Layers of dark chocolate and a touch of cedar add depth, leading to a long, spicy finish. This wine exemplifies the quintessential Dry Creek Valley style, marrying power with elegance, and is a testament to its terroir-driven finesse.
