Aromas of plum and black current mingle with ripe, juicy flavors of black cherry and strawberry jam. Well integrated tannins unfold into a rich layered finish. The firm tannins make it a terrific pairing with tri-tip steak, sausage, and juicy burgers.
Vineyard Notes
The Zinfandel grapes were sourced from our estate San Lucas and Hames Valley vineyards. Hames is located at the southern edge of Monterey County and has a climate characterized by a high day-to-night temperature differential, with a variation of up to 50° quite common.
The majority of this blend came from San Lucas, about 20 miles north of Hames Valley, characterized by its beautiful rolling topography, sunshine-filled days, and cool nights.
