David Bruce Paso Robles Zinfandel 1996

The Paso Robles appellation has earned a reputation for Zinfandel with ripe berry flavors and pleasingly soft palates. The vineyards used in this wine were planted in the 1970's, and now yield complex, concentrated fruit with underlying spiciness. We emphasize gentle handling throughout the winemaking process to retain bright flavors and a supple palate. Our Zinfandel bursts with fresh blackberry aromas supported by hints of toast, vanilla and tobacco. The palate is lush and soft, with lingering berry flavors finishing with caramel and oak notes.
