ZIN Collective
California Zinfandel
Ruby red in color. Expressive, rich nose full of rhubarb, blackberry pie, and brambly red fruits. Secondary notes of vanilla and spice box. Medium-bodied mouthful of blackberry, ripe red currant and black cherry. Supple tannins and perfect acidity buoy and brighten a lengthy finish framed with a trace of tobacco and baker’s chocolate.
13.5% alc by vol.
As the name suggests, the vineyards are scattered about the North Coast of California in addition to a few choice spots in Lodi.
