Grapey and rather ripe, with peppery spice and menthol on the palate, red and blue fruited. Nice complexity, well balanced showing a lingering, spicy finish. Drink now through 2020.

13.0% alcohol. This is a lively, vibrant, baby of a wine. Bright red color. Leaping bouquet of dusty cherry fruit, black fruit, light pepper, spicy notes, and minerals. In the mouth, a laser beam of explosive fruit and peppery, spicy complexity with huge acidity. This has all those combined hallmarks of Mancini Ranch and Zeigler Vineyard, put together in a single, powerful wine. A-/A

used for 1/2 cooking and 1/2 for drinking. Tasty red cherry fruit.

Much softer than other Swan Zinfandels. Pleasant and easy to drink but not the best that Swan can do.
