Wow, without a doubt, this is the richest, darkest, and densest Zinfandel we've offered to date. We love this wine! Our Zinfandel vineyard is divided into 7 sub-blocks, and almost all of them were 10 years old in 2002, an age where our vines seemed to settle down and behave themselves. We were able to dry farm some of the blocks for the first time, and yields have stabilized at just under 3 tons per acre. These grapes were harvested fully ripe, and picked block by block over several weeks.

Tasting Note: The 2002 Zinfandel has deep red raspberry aromas, along with pretty cinnamon and smoky notes, and a touch of subtle minerality typical of our vineyard. In the mouth, the wine is packed with chocolate, black cherries, and berry pie flavors leading to an intense, mouth filling finish.
