Zinfandel 2023 / Aged 10 Months

Aromatic and immediately expressive, this Zin bursts from the glass with ripe blackberry, black cherry compote, and plum. The fruit profile leans lush, framed by hints of raspberry jam & blueberry pie. Beneath the fruit, subtle layers of cracked black pepper, licorice, and cocoa add complexity without overshadowing the wine’s vibrancy. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, higher alcohol lends a warming, velvety weight, yet it remains impressively balanced thanks to lively acidity. This brightness lifts the dense fruit, keeping it fresh and energetic rather than heavy. Tannins are supple and well-integrated, offering just enough structure to support the fruit-forward style. The finish is long, plush, and fruit-driven, with lingering notes of blackberry liqueur, spice, and a refreshing snap of acidity that invites another sip.
