Zinfandel

This dynamic and powerhouse Zinfandel comes from the northern end of the Russian River Valley from the historic Cohn vineyard, planted in 1975.  The gnarled, old vines which are virtually dry-farmed, climb a steep and rocky slope, producing small and compact clusters with incredible fruit intensity and bright acidity.

Lively aromas of vine-ripened blackberries and kirsch liquor are followed by flavors reminiscent of fresh-baked blackberry pie and fresh-cracked white pepper.  This succulent wine has a multi-layered texture, with sweet luscious tannins and a long finish.

This wine is a favorite of many of our mailing list customers year after year.  As we have said to many people over the years, this is a Zinfandel made in the hands of a Pinot Noir winemaker.  Mike Sullivan just has a special something with Zins.
