This wine has the Papera profile of concentrated dark berries and an almost mouthwatering acidity. The nose is almost hypnotic as I could’ve sat and just smelled this wine with its aromas of Marionberry, Huckleberry and ripe dark plums. Impressive for it’s age as it still drinks very young.

Crimson in color. 14.4% ABV. Stunning nose of red fruits, peach, anise and pepper. Medium body with mouth watering acidity and perfect balance. Absolutely packed with bright, juicy fruits. Cherry, strawberry, raspberry liqueur and pepper on the palate. Exceptional length on the finish. Charming Zinfandel that is aging brilliantly from a treasured vineyard in the Russian River Valley. Best over the next several years.
