Napa Valley Zinfandel

Napa Valley Zinfandel Wine Details
Price:

Description: This wine has a deep garnet color with a subtle blue tint. The nose opens in layers with a flush of exotic fruit blossom integrating with classic autumn spice and a clean black cherry core. The mouth feel is lush and full with a firmness and backbone that hold the multifaceted flavors in balance. Rich, dark fruit has an alluring tropical thread that has become a hallmark of Brown Estate zinfandel. Subtle wood notes are traditional cardamom, cinnamon, burnt sugar, and cream. We expect these to intensify with age, drawing out the buried bitter chocolate and tobacco notes. Tannins are gently responsive, giving way to a finish that is expressive and long.
