A nice long lasting finish. 5,12,16,6=89 (3080 views) | | | Tasted by Kahnru12 on 10/8/2013 & rated 89 points: A nice zin with lots of bramble fruit and berry enhanced by soft tannins. A good zin for the price point if you prefer little spice.
(3098 views) | | | Tasted by Kahnru12 on 10/5/2013 & rated 89 points: Well rounded fruity zin. Full of mixed berry through the finish. Not complex to my taste. Fine but not outstanding nose. Tannins mostly softened but the wine will still be better with time. I have more bottles and may very well rate this higher in six months.

| Kenneth Volk Producer websiteZinfandel ZAP: Zinfandel Advocates & Producers | Varietal character (Appellation America) | Wikipedia-ZinfandelEnz VineyardFrom the 2017 vintage, we are honored to begin working with the Enz family's old dry-farmed, head-trained mourvèdre planted about a century ago on the limestone and decomposed granite soils of the Lime Kiln Valley in the Cienega Valley, just down the road from Calera on the east side of the Gabilan range.USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
