Wine Details
Price:
$22.50 per bottle
Description:
Uniquely spicy and lush. While Zinfandel often shows pronounced black pepper notes and angular tannins, this wine is characterized by brown spice, ripe fruit and warm jamminess - calling to mind an unexpectedly warm fall afternoon. With evident yet approachable tannins, the wine will develop further in bottle and will continue to age well through the end of this decade. Due to the warm and temperate growing season, Celestino, Clay and Marco closely monitored the vineyards to ensure that the fruit did not over-ripen. The vineyard was thinned to approximately three tons per acre. Grapes were harvested during four separate passes at an average of 27.0 degrees Brix, fermented in stainless steel tanks, the aged for 15 months in a combination of new French oak barrels (40%) and one- to three-year old French and American oak (60%).
