The nose is layered and expressive, with dark cherries, spice, cola, mint, and a subtle earthy undertone. On the palate, ripe dark fruit leads the way, joined by pomegranate, rose petals, cocoa, and a gentle smoky note that carries into a long, balanced finish.\n\nThis is a wine with impressive structure and poise, where the richness of the fruit is matched by freshness and restraint. It already drinks beautifully, but it has the depth and balance to age gracefully for several years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeyserville Vineyard is planted on historic old vines in California, with Zinfandel making up roughly 70% of the blend and the remaining portion typically drawn from Carignan, Petite Sirah, and Alicante Bouschet. Winemaker Eric Baugher adjusts the final blend slightly from vintage to vintage, always aiming to preserve the vineyard’s distinctive character. The wine is matured for 13 months in American oak, with only about 10% new barrels so the fruit remains at the forefront.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a versatile, food-friendly red that works especially well with grilled meats, barbecue, roasted lamb, beef short ribs, or hearty pasta dishes.
