This wine invites you in with layered aromatics of black plum, dried fig, clay earth, garrigue, and cardamom spice, complemented by a quintessential briar patch of red raspberry, blackberry, and black cherry. The luscious, mouth-filling entry evokes chocolate cherry cordial, leading into a juicy, supple mid-palate with mouthwatering acidity and hints of baking spice. The finish is rich and velvety, with mature, age-worthy tannins that provide balance and structure.
Beautifully crafted, this Old Vine Zinfandel pairs perfectly with Beef Braciole, mushroom sugo, and cherry balsamic pork tenderloin.
