Able clone. The basis of this wine is the synergy between alcoholic and carbonic fermentation. Carbonic fermentation (think Beaujolias) achieves the lifted aromas of maraschino cherry, clove. The synergy creates a lovely silky, supple texture. 10% foot crush, 20% destemmed, 70% whole bunch. Basket pressed. Bottled February 2023.
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
