91 Points (Wine Enthusiast) & Gold( 2020 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition)
In Stock
This crowd-pleasing Zinfandel features grapes from our 20 acre hillside vineyard, Bella Collina (90%) as well as our home ranch, Redwood Valley Vineyards (10%). Deep ruby red in color with fresh aromas of black currant, cherry, and raisin with hints of mint and cigar box that expand in the nose. Fruit forward elderberry, and olallieberry come through in the palate as hints of white pepper, cardamom, black olive, and smoky clove intertwine to create an approachable yet intricate wine with a smooth and satisfying finish.
