This elegant Zinfandel opens with an inviting bouquet of ripe red raspberries, layered with the richness of Santa Rosa plums and dark blackberry notes. The palate reveals crisp acidity that flows with refinement, leading to a graceful finish marked by velvety, well-integrated tannins. A testament to the vintage's cooler conditions, the wine captures the essence of carefully ripened fruit while maintaining remarkable freshness and complexity. The balanced structure and mature tannin profile make it an ideal companion for robust fare—think succulent short ribs, indulgent pork belly, or creamy gnocchi gorgonzola.
