Wine Review: This very dark ruby colored Zinfandel from Dry Creek Vineyard opens with an English Breakfast tea and blueberry bouquet with hints of cedar and black cherry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is black plum and raspberry blend with notes of dark chocolate and dried coconut flakes. I also detected hints of stony minerality, cedar, and nutmeg. The finish is dry and its flavors and acidity drift away nicely. I would pair this Zin with marinated grilled steak tips. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: The 2022 Heritage Vines Zinfandel captivates with aromas of black cherry, plum and ripe blueberry, layered with hints of pepper, baking spices and cocoa powder. The palate unfolds with vibrant cranberry and blackberry pie, revealing complexity through bright acidity and deeper undertones of espresso, fine leather, and cedar. From the first sip to the lingering finish, this exceptional wine delivers refreshing energy and impeccable structure.
