Hales Vineyard Zinfandel 2017

The vineyard consists of a few small Zinfandel blocks which provide the framework for our 2017 Artezin Hales Vineyard offering. Black fruits dominate this wine, with aromas of blackberries, complemented by savory notes of fresh ground pepper and dried herbs. On the palate, a rich entry of black cherry gives way to a supple tannin structure with intriguing notes of baker’s chocolate, followed by a lingering finish. This wine showcases all of the signature varietal characters of Zinfandel wrapped in what I affectionately call “Zinniness”!-Winemaker, Randle Johnson
