winemaker's notes:

Varietal Content: 92% Zinfandel, 9.3% Petite Sirah

There is a lot of Russian River Valley fruit in the blend, which means fruit-driven Zinfandel. The Russian River is distinctive due to its cool maritime climate which gives the wine vibrant fruit aromas and flavors. This Sonoma County Zinfandel displays classic aromas and flavors of jammy raspberry, blackberry, dark plum and black cherry. These layers of rich fruit are balanced by hints of warm vanilla and spice resulting in a wine with depth and structure.

I would buy this wine again

I had this over the holidays and wasn't sure. This afternoon I gave it another chance. Opened the bottle about 30 minutes before serving anfd it came through as a very good table wine. Plummy, a but full, little tannin with a decent finish.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
