The best barrels of the vintage from Buzz Seaton's Dry Creek Valley vineyard go into this reserve bottling. Planted in 1976 to a field selection of grapes on St. George rootstock, the site produces focused, bright, richly rewarding Zins.
Tasting Notes: On the nose, expressive notes of bramble and dark fruits combine with earthy characteristics. The palate is bursting with blackberry, cranberry, and hints of oak and vanilla on the finish.
