Nose
The aroma is of raspberry fruit characters being lifted by the alcohol, showing good medicinal characters with an undercurrent of Mediterranean herbs and dried spices.
Palate
The taste is rich and satisfying. Heat from the alcohol is evident but is balanced by fruit and wood ageing. The wine lingers attractively on the finis a big complex style that will reward with keeping although.
Winemaking
We grew our single vineyard low yield zinfandel with particular attention to soil health using minimal chemical input. Grapes were handpicked, chilled and crushed into small open fermenters.Following fermentation winemaker Dylan Arvidson matured the wine for 14 months in a blend of American and French oak barrels.
