Producer: Bonterra
Region: Mendocino, California
Varietal: Zinfandel
Year: 2019
“The addition of Petite Sirah, Syrah, and other red grapes to this 80% Zinfandel made with organic grapes contributes seasoning and layers of flavors. While the sweetness of summer plum and black cherry is dense and intense, it’s balanced by vibrant acidity. Mocha notes play a role in calming the tannins, introducing a supple nature on the finish.”
“Oodles of ripe fruit flavors ride a full body in this dark-colored, saturated wine. Impressively concentrated chocolate and black-cherry notes are braced by fine-grained tannins for an almost chewy texture.”
Winemaker Notes:
“Blending Petite Sirah into this Zinfandel gave it greater perfume, color and complexity in the glass. A glint of purple against a deep red hue hints at the luscious aromas of violets, raspberry, and strawberry on the nose. A rich palate of briery fruit, brown spice, and vanilla is framed by a subtle thread of pepper and oak. The generous mid-palate showcases soft tannins and balanced acidity.”
