| Winemaker’s Notes: | The 2009 Zinfandel is
cherry red with a light pink hue. Strawberry, raspberry and clove combine with
a touch of maple syrup on the nose. The entry is filled with spice, cinnamon,
and red fruit characters. The mid-palate has a perfect balance of weight and
acidity, showcasing cherry, plum and a bit of jam. The finish is clean and
textured, with a just a bit of tannins to pair well with food. Enjoy this wine
with roasted and spice driven meats, stews and pork. Enjoy now through 2018.
