Ripe aromas of spicy, briary dark fruit are wrapped in molé spice, cardamom, and milk chocolate shavings on the nose and translate through to the palate with the addition of black cherry, blackberry, boysenberry, sweet plum, white and black pepper, anise, and burnt raw sugar. The mouthfeel is full bodied and lush and offers hints of sweetness on the palate along with a dusty cocoa quality. This Zin’s long, spicy finish is enhanced by black cherry, licorice, and soft oak spice and toast. Recommended drinking time is three to five years from vintage with a maximum suggested aging time of eight to ten years from vintage. We also recommend decanting this wine for about an hour prior to drinking.

Vineyard
Our family vineyard, located on the valley floor just north of St. Helena on the Silverado Trail, possesses well-drained, sandy, alluvial soils and is characterized by its ability to produce complex wines with well-defined fruit flavors, gentle acids and naturally balanced tannins. The Cabernet Sauvignon vines vary in age. They were most recently planted between the years 1996 to 2001 and are a combination of the 337 and See clones. Further north, our Ehlers Lane Vineyard consists of a stony, dry streambed and a knoll composed of thin gravelly soil over hard volcanic ash. Planted entirely to Cabernet Sauvignon these infertile soils produce low yields of grapes with concentrated flavors.
