The 1986 vintage, our debut Zinfandel, made a grand entrance. The next two vintages were equally well received. This award winning style has enormously rich aromas of ripe blackberries, a delightful spice character and soft vanilla that combine with generous raspberry flavors in a wine of depth and balance. The wine is opulent and delicious with an excellent backbone, and most importantly, is a pleasure to drink.
