Zinsane Zinfandel 2016

This Zinfandel presents a deep garnet hue, indicative of its concentrated nature. The nose is a complex tapestry of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and a hint of cracked black pepper, underscored by subtle vanilla and cedar from well-judged oak integration. On the palate, it reveals a robust structure with velvety tannins and a core of juicy plum and raspberry compote. The wine's vibrant acidity provides balance, leading to a long, spicy finish with a whisper of clove and anise. This is a quintessential expression of Zinfandel, showcasing both power and finesse, ideal for pairing with hearty fare.
