Tasting note

The 2024 Zinfandel is expected to bring ripe blackberry, raspberry jam and a peppery lift, with the Russian River Valley and Paso Robles names lending a California sense of generous fruit. Expect a supple entry and a broad, juicy palate, balanced by enough acidity to keep the sweetness of the fruit lively. Its window begins in 2025, with peak years from 2027 through 2030; a warm spice note should linger after the darker berries fade.
