Winemaker Notes
Vibrant and always distinctive, the Pesenti Zinfandel makes its spring lineup
debut! Fragrant red fruits, black raspberry, chalk dust, piquant spices and wild
flowers all flourish on the nose. Lush yet linear on the palate, with fresh, lively
acidity and profound depth. Intensely pleasurable now, and will age well.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Pesenti vineyard was planted in the 1920s on limestone soils. Deep ruby in color, the 2017 Zinfandel Pesenti Vineyard gives savory notes of charcuterie over dried brambly fruits and crushed black cherries with hints of dried soil. Medium to full-bodied, it offers savory-laced fruits in the mouth with soft, grainy tannins and great freshness, finishing long with pretty dried flowers notes. 2,400 cases produced.

Wine Spectator
Dynamic yet sleekly elegant for a Zinfandel, with refined black cherry, grilled anise and pepper flavors that build speed and energy toward polished tannins. Drink now through 2029.
