| Wine Notes: | Not every vintage is ideal to make a late harvest style wine because you really need the perfect ripening conditions to remain at length until the fruit is at its optimum sugar level, about 36 brix. Fortunately, 2004 was such a year. This special wine is made entirely from Zinfandel grapes left to hang until just before the first rains begin to fall. It is a uniquely viscous monster with ultra-ripe dusty blackberry and peppery aromas that emanate from the glass. Mouth coating flavors of blueberry, rich white chocolate and gooseberry are framed by a silky, velvety backbone. Ending with lingering spice and vanilla-berry. This handcrafted Late Harvest Zinfandel will surely have people praying to Mother Nature for the next perfect vintage! |
