Easton Zinfandel, Shenandoah Valley "Estate"

Easton Zinfandel, Shenandoah Valley "Estate" Wine Details
Price: $30.00 per bottle

Description: Flavors are full, rich, smooth, and gutsy. The wine has huge brambly blackberry fruit, big cedar, spicebox aromas and flavors. It has a smooth creamy finish from aging in François Frères and Taransaud barrels (1/3 new). 2001 was a particularly great year in the Sierra Foothills and the Shenandoah Valley. Our spring was cool, so fruit set was late. Harvest was dry. Hang time was long. These vineyards were harvested in mid-October. We have bottled the wine in our EASTON “Estate” package with its’ distinctive, but classic label design and heavy bottle.
