Dutton-Goldfield 2012 Dutton Ranch Morelli Lane Zinfandel (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / California
Variety: Zinfandel
Winery: Dutton-Goldfield / Dutton Ranch Morelli Lane

Smoky in dark clove and black pepper, this is a smooth, bright Zinfandel from head-trained, dry-farmed vines planted in the 19th century. After skipping the 2011 vintage, the winery returns with this stunner, brambly in succulent blackberry with plenty of intriguing spice.
