$64.95

This bold Zinfandel from Shake Ridge Ranch bursts with ripe blackberry, black cherry, and boysenberry, accented by hints of chocolate, vanilla, and nutmeg. Planted in 2003, the sustainably farmed vines yield rich, mouthcoating tannins and a luscious finish, weaving black tea, black olive, and game meat into a harmonious whole.

Wine Enthusiast

This wine is driven by blackberry, black cherry and allspice. The other notes waft through, including blueberry, boysenberry, ginger-spiced black tea and orange-blossom honey. Layers of dark fruit, dark chocolate, earth and minerality bring it all together. Impressive vineyard site with beautiful fruit.
