2018 Zinfandel
Michael's Estate Vineyard
Dry-Farmed Fruit
Michael’s Estate provides an ideal location for Zinfandel with mostly southern exposures, situated on a rolling hillside terrain at 1700 ft. elevation. Here, head-trained, dry-farmed “heritage” vines (transplanted scions from two century-old Paso Robles vineyards) produce small yields of concentrated flavorful fruit.
Deep ruby coloring hints towards the wine’s flavors of boysenberry, cranberry, baking spices aromas, which segue to notes ripe black raspberries. The pure berry flavors are accented with notes of ground nutmeg and hoisin sauce lightly dusted with black pepper. Drink up by 2024.
