Country: US / Mancini Ranch
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: Joseph Swan Vineyards / Russian River Valley
Zinfandel from old vines is rarely this light and refreshing, yet still exuberant in fruit. A mix of tart cherry and just-ripe blackberry comes with a lingering edge of citrus around the cinnamon and black pepper spice. Funky earth ripples through the middle, before a subtle take on leather finishes things out.
