2017 Barrel 32 Zinfandel

93 Points | Wine Enthusiast | Barrel Select
"This giant wine offers serious meaty, peppery aromas and absolutely mouthfilling blackberry and grilled beef flavors that are wrapped in firm tannins. Mineral and metallic accents compete for attention with wood smoke and black pepper."

Variety: 96% zinfandel 4% syrah

Appellation: Sonoma County (Dry Creek Valley, Rockpile and Russian River Valley)

Sensory Notes: An epically delectable wine that shows no restraint when it comes to rich aromas and texture. A complex concoction of juicy black and blue fruits, deciduous forest floor, and cacao. On the palate, layers of cola and sasparilla support its rich fruit profile, while firm tannins suggest a structure capable of aging for some time to come.

Vineyard Notes: The barrels chosen include wine from the renowned Maple Vineyards, our own Lily Hill Estate, Big River Ranch, Zichichi, Rocky Ridge and Jack’s Bench Vineyards.
