Hess Collection Zinfandel

Hess Collection Zinfandel Wine Details
Price:

Description: The Zinfandel in this blend comes from an old clone grown in Dry Creek Valley. We chose this clone because of its small berries that deliver great color and intense fruit character. Zinfandel can come in many different styles. The Hess Collection style is big, based on ripe fruit and full extraction. The aroma has raspberry, ripe plum and cedar. White pepper follows with vanilla and a touch of well-integrated oak. The mid-palate offers a wonderful sweetness that leads into round, chewy tannins which linger into the finish. The beauty of Zinfandel is the fruit, so enjoy this wine young, within the next five years.
