Tasting note

Fontanella Family Winery's Portmanteau should open with Zinfandel's blackberry and raspberry, accented by cracked pepper and a warm, savory aroma. From Mount Veeder, it is expected to feel broad and fruit-forward, while smooth tannins and lively acidity lend the palate a steady balance. Because no drinking window is supplied, bottle condition and storage history should guide when to open it. The finish should gather dark fruit and spice, then settle into a gently dry, earthy note.
