Cool, foggy mornings on the hillsides of Limerick Lane in the northern end of Russian River Valley lend bright acidity to this Zinfandel. Grower
Gary Schmalzriedt produces grapes that perfectly express the light, delicate characteristics of cool-climate Zinfandel.
Tasting Notes: Layers of sweet cherry, rose petals, cloves, loamy earth, and raspberry aromas spring from this garnet-colored wine. The palate is balanced by more developed flavors of raspberry jam, caramel, vanilla, and oaky tannins. The rich mouthfeel is balanced by bright acidity and minerality giving this wine a long-lasting finish.
