This organic and vegan Zinfandel was harvested from the estate's Coyote Block (planted in 2007-2008) and aged 20 months in French and American oak.
It's impressive and shows classic Zin characters. Notes of blueberry, cherries, vanilla, clove and licorice lead to a smooth palate with fine spices, leather, dark cocoa, espresso and tealeaf flavours. Smooth with good substance and suppleness it also has buoyant acidity.
