This Sonoma Zinfandel showcases the elegance of a cooler vintage, with an aromatic profile dominated by red raspberry and Santa Rosa plum, layered with dark berry complexity. The palate reveals refined acidity that interacts beautifully with the wine's structure, transitioning into a graceful finish marked by velvety tannins.
The extended growing season allowed optimal fruit maturation while preserving the wine's natural freshness, resulting in a balanced expression where ripe fruit character remains vibrant and the tannin framework feels polished rather than aggressive.
