The gnarly old vines at Monte Rosso Vineyard produced a wine with depth of fruit and subtle nuances befitting its venerable origins. This remarkable fruit enabled us to make a truly distinctive Zinfandel. The wine was aged for 17 months in a combination of new and seasoned French and American oak barrels. This beautifully balanced wine offers a lush nose with abundant ripe boysenberry and black raspberry aromas and traces of fresh sage and anise. Sleek and supple on the palate, it displays rich, concentrated flavors of black cherry and blackberry with hints of mocha and spice on a lengthy finish.
