This wine contains notes of dark cocoa, dark fruit and spices. The masterful coupling of tannins and bright acid keep a crisp, fresh feel, allowing the wine to take the palette on a gentle and satisfying journey. This Estate Reserve creates a unique aspect in the Zinfandel by co-fermenting with a small portion of Estate Merlot. The aromatic cycle of a Merlot lasts roughly six months and ranges from an oak-dominated nose to an elegant fruit driven nose.
