November Club Shipment
This wine opens with generous aromas of raspberry and marionberry, layered with warm cooking spices and a hint of star anise. The palate is smooth and inviting, with vibrant raspberry and cherry flavors carried by a rich, supple texture. Generous now, with the depth and structure to age gracefully.
Pair this vibrant wine with braised short ribs over creamy mashed potatoes or polenta, topped with a dash of freshly grated horseradish for a perfect kick.
Planted in 1926, Montafi Ranch Vineyard is a rare gem in the Russian River Valley where most of the old vine Zinfandel vineyards have been uprooted and replanted with other varieties. We are now the guardians of these ancient Zinfandel Vines, planted in a traditional field blend with Alicante Bouschet and other traditional mixed black varieties. This vineyard’s cooler climate and mixed planting enables us to produce a Zinfandel that highlights yet another facet of the variety’s diverse expressions; intensely aromatic with a savory fruit profile, bright acidity and ripe tannins.
