The 2023 Zinfandel Iron Hill Vineyard pours a black/red-purple hue with 30% whole clusters. Cooling and deep, it reveals blueberries, lavender, wildflowers, currants, herbs, spice, and dark chocolate. Full-bodied but never heavy, it balances intensity with sanguine freshness and terrific energy. Drink 2026-2040.

Powerful, dark-fruited and full-bodied, this enormously flavorful wine is rich in black cherries, blackberries and yes, iron, with good, full, fine-grained tannins. Black pepper, grilled sage, flint and dried blueberry flavors. From a dramatically steep, volcanic site. Drink now or hold.

A distinctive Zin that’s rich and plump with personality, offering dynamic flavors of cherry, red plum, fruitcake spices, savory anise and cracked pepper that finish with zesty tannins.
