Powerful and full-fruited. Rich Red fruit tones and subtle barrel tones. A sensual bouquet and seamless finish. Alcohol is pretty well-hidden, but I don’t know if it demands this price.

The wine is made by The Crane Assembly, yet Delectable has it by a different name. Regardless, this is a must try-period. Prettiest nose reveals a cashmere soft side. Dripping with blackberries. Get this 45% old vine Zinfandel, 41% Petite Verdot and the rest is Merlot. You would be hard pressed to guess the blend. Loads of blackberry, blueberry, graphite and creosote. Finish displays Mediterranean herbs, black currant and smoked vanilla. This is off the charts good. Parker 95 pointer. Don't miss it.

Tasty. A little acidic. May need to rest. But delicious.

There’s something special about tasting a bottle just a few feet away from its own angry twisted old vines. @Ryan Keith shared this vineyard’s history, and immediately the wine tasted different- deserving of respect. Picnic table tasting room is a perfect start to #bottlerock week. Thank you for the gift to share with friends!
