A briar patch in a bottle, this hearty red abounds with bold raspberry, roasted anise and smoky black pepper flavors that build tension and structure toward broad-shouldered tannins.

Pouring a deep purple color, the 2021 Zinfandel Heritage Vines is composed of 80% Zinfandel, 19% Petite Sirah, and a splash of Carignane. In the glass, it boasts aromas of dark chocolate, baked blackberries, espresso, and menthol. Full-bodied, it offers ripe tannins and a persistent structure and retains good balance throughout.
