Zenith is the winery's estate vineyard, and represents a particularly fine value in a splendid lineup. The ripe, plummy fruit is swathed in rich brown spices, a sweet streak of molasses, and notes of tobacco and black tea. Decant and enjoy immediately, or cellar for another couple of years to let the flavors continue melding.

Ruby-red. Powerful smoke- and spice-accented red berry liqueur and cherry scents take on notes of allspice and cola as the wine opens up. Sweet and round on the palate; juicy blackberry and floral pastille flavors show appealing spiciness and a touch of anise. Powerful yet energetic, delivering strong finishing punch and silky, slow-building tannins that fold smoothly into the juicy fruit.
