"Aromas of white pepper and lavender lead to a robust, meaty palate. Blackberry, graphite and oak round out the balanced, powerful foundation that's supported by firm tannins. -VB"

"The 2016 Zinfandel Blocks 7 & 22 was aged for 15 months in French oak, 33% new. Pale to medium garnet-purple colored, it dances out of the glass with spicy notions of cloves, fenugreek, star anise and cumin seed with a core of raspberry preserves, stewed plums and blueberry compote plus wafts of tobacco, fallen leaves and fragrant soil. The palate is full-bodied with loads of juicy red and black fruit preserves flavors and a chewy texture, finishing with loads of freshness and a spicy kick. 1,059 cases were made."
