The 2021 Zinfandel Mountain is quite savory in the glass. Wild herbs, black currants and ashen stone can be found with swirling. This ia a surprisingly juicy and fresh, with crisp red and black fruits under an air of sweet lavender. Building tannins define the finish, clamping down hard while leaving the violet inner florals to fade slowly. Cellering will be required.

Black raspberry, crumpled purple flowers, turned earth and smoked meat aromas make for an attention-grabbing nose on this bottling. A firm frame upholds the oaky flavors of the palate, which pairs boysenberry and violet with dry tannins.

Offers ripe berry cobbler and cracked pepper flavors that finish on a plump, slightly sweet accent. Drink now through 2029. 13,525 cases made.
