Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Aromas of acacia and ripe raspberry mingle together to welcome the nose. A flash of ripe fruit kicks off the palate; followed by a cocoa powder, white spice, with hints of grapefruit and subtle white almonds wrap up a velvety finish well-balanced wine.
Production Notes
Our 2018 Zinfandel grapes were harvested in three picks, coordinating with our three blocks. The grapes were grown on our estate Coble Ranch Vineyard, located in Winters, CA. We use the heritage Primitivo Clone in our Zinfandel block, which produces a lighter, more refined fruit profile than its counterparts. After the grapes were harvested and sorted they were fermented in small lots, then pressed in our traditional basket press. Once pressed, the wine was aged for 14 months in neutral French Oak barrels.
