An estate-grown Sonoma County red wine bottled at 14.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The blend is approximately 80% Zinfandel, 12% Petite Sirah and 8% Carignane, from estate plantings in Dry Creek Valley, where warm days and cool evening fog create ideal conditions for full ripening. Oak ageing contributes vanilla and smoky char layers. Serve at 60-65°F, with a brief decant of 20-30 minutes to open the aromatics. It suits grilled preparations such as barbecue ribs, braised short ribs or wood-fired pizza with sausage and roasted peppers.
Tasting Notes
Plum jam and cardamom spice, followed by layers of cola, white pepper and cocoa, with rubbed sage and molasses adding earthy complexity.
Medium to full-bodied with ripe blackberry, wild raspberry and blueberry on entry; red currant jelly and black plum broaden the mid-palate, with sweet leather, chocolate and vanilla from oak ageing; round, well-built tannins give grip without harshness.
Moderately long with lingering licorice and black pepper, with smoky char and cocoa carrying through the close.
