A fascinating, layered wine that's bright and floral in aromas, complex in flavors and elegant in texture despite a very full body. Raspberries and red cherries at first, then black pepper, black cherries and subtle minerals. This unusual wine uses 40% whole clusters in the fermentation and is aged in a large, neutral foudre barrel.

Robust yet refined for a Zinfandel, with multilayered cherry and red plum flavors highlighted by savory sage and white pepper flavors that end with fine-grained tannins.
