Private Reserve
2023
Draped in a deep, opulent purple hue, the 2023 Private Reserve Zinfandel reveals an aromatic medley of luscious Bing cherries, accented by a delicate hint of juniper berry. On the palate, a vibrant symphony unfolds, where the bright essence of blueberry, the richness of baked plum, and the juicy depth of boysenberry intertwine effortlessly. This intricate flavor profile is further elevated by whispers of allspice, anise, and a gentle touch of coffee. The experience is enveloped in a sumptuous embrace of silky-smooth tannins, culminating in a long, tantalizing finish that lingers elegantly on the senses.
