Zinfandel
This dynamic and powerhouse Zinfandel comes from the northern
end of the Russian River Valley from the historic Cohn Vineyard,
planted in 1975. The gnarled, old vines which are virtually
dry-farmed, climb a steep and rocky slope, producing small and
compact clusters with incredible fruit intensity and bright
acidity. Lively aromas of vine-ripened blackberries and Kirsch
liqueur are followed by flavors reminiscent of fresh-baked
blackberry pie and fresh-cracked white pepper. This succulent wine
has a multi-layered texture, with sweet luscious tannins and a long
finish.
This single-vineyard wine is a perennial favorite of many on our
mailing list. As we've said over the years, this is a Zinfandel
made in the hands of a talented Pinot Noir winemaker who brings
something truly remarkable to this Zin.
