Tasting Notes

The nose is expressive and inviting, opening with aromas of blackberry, ripe raspberry, and black cherry layered with notes of black pepper, plum, and warm baking spice. Hints of vanilla, cedar, and subtle toasted oak add depth, while gentle earthy tones provide complexity.

On the palate, it is medium-to-full bodied with a smooth, generous texture. Flavors of dark berries, cherry preserves, and ripe plum lead the way, followed by layers of mocha, cocoa, and sweet spice. Classic Zinfandel pepper notes emerge through the mid-palate, balanced by soft tannins and refreshing acidity. The oak influence adds subtle vanilla and toast without overpowering the vibrant fruit character.

The finish is smooth and lingering, with notes of dark fruit, pepper spice, cocoa, and gentle oak.
