Dry Creek Vineyard Zinfandel Heritage Vines 2016

The 2016 Heritage Vines Zinfandel is delicious and beautifully balanced. This vintage presents enticing aromatics of raspberries, cherry and a hint of toast and black pepper. On the palate, brambly flavors of ripe boysenberry and spicy dark chocolate come forward. The wine is complex, with bright acidity complimented by notes of berry syrup and mocha.

The tannins are silky and smooth to lend a round, rich mouthfeel. From start to finish, this remarkable wine offers refreshing acidy paired with excellent structure. Blended with 20% Petite Sirah and 1% Primitivo, this is a thick, dense wine that offers smoky char beneath rich, full-bodied red berries and softly integrated oak. The finish has touches of mocha and sweet tobacco.
