Zinfandel 'Tofanelli Vineyard'

Zinfandel 'Tofanelli Vineyard' Wine Details
Price: $35.00 per bottle

Description: The crop from Vince and Pauline Tofanelli’s Calistoga area vineyard was also 20% smaller in 2003, and we see a corresponding increase in the intensity of this wine. There is a verve and a vibrancy to the 2003 Tofanelli, however, compared to the deeper resonance of the Pato Zinfandel. The black fruit flavors of raspberry and currant stand out, but there’s pepper and clove as well. The longer than normal maceration serves to remove the hard tannins, producing a softness that makes it immediately attractive.
