One-hundred-year-old vines in Dry Creek Valley, painstakingly farmed by the Forchini family, produced this reserve-tier wine that offers luscious fruit character, palate intensity, and pure concentration. The best barrels of Forchini Zinfandel were selected for this bottling.
Tasting Notes: Dark fruit aromas mixed with blackberry, cranberry, and black currant. The palate unfolds with nuances of blackberry jam, tobacco, and nutmeg, crafting a thoroughly smooth finish.
