2023 Zinfandel Napa Valley 750ml

Tasting Notes:

From the esteemed Tofanelli Vineyard, this Zinfandel presents a deeply inviting and multifaceted aromatic profile. Initial impressions reveal a generous core of dark bramble fruit, think sun-ripened loganberry and rich damson plum, which gracefully makes way for subtle stone fruit nuances, like a whisper of fresh apricot and white peach. Adding layers of intrigue are delicate hints of Szechuan peppercorn and a sophisticated touch of warm, toasted brioche. The palate is undeniably opulent and mouth-filling, delivering a cascade of concentrated mixed berry flavors, with succulent dark cherries and ripe raspberries at the forefront. This fruit intensity is beautifully interwoven with a gentle, warming spice medley and intriguing notes of sweet anise and clove. The experience culminates in a well-defined, enduring presence that leaves a clean and satisfyingly dry impression.
