Country: US / Dutton Ranch Morelli Lane Vineyard
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: Dutton-Goldfield / Russian River Valley
This is such a refreshing take on the variety, still robust and rich in body, yet possessed of firm acidity and a crispness of cherry kirsch and pomegranate. It practically shouts violets and roses on the nose, following through on the palate with a delicacy of power that’s entirely surprising. The finish is a mix of allspice and white pepper.
