This Russian River Zinfandel is a lush, dark‑fruited, old‑vine expression of the region, opening with aromas of blackberry compote, ripe plum, raspberry jam, and warm baking spice. The palate is rich yet balanced, delivering layers of black cherry, bramble fruit, cocoa, and sweet spice, supported by the natural freshness that defines Russian River Valley reds. Soft, round tannins frame the wine, while hints of pepper, vanilla, and dried herbs add depth through the finish. It’s a plush, expressive Zinfandel with both power and polish — generous without being heavy, and beautifully drinkable now.
