Collins Vineyard Zinfandel 2016

Though most often thought of as a cool growing region, there are warmer reaches of the Russian River perfect for Zinfandel. Our fruit hails from old vine blocks planted in 1934, in the excitement that followed the repeal of Prohibition. This ruby red Zinfandel offers enticing aromas of fresh blackberry and boysenberry, which intertwine with subtle notes of star anise and black pepper. Flavors are abundant and driven by raspberries, sweet red cherry and currant. A plush, balanced and well-rounded mouthfeel leads to a lingering finish of finely integrated tannins.
