Nose: The bouquet bursts with ripe berry aromas, dominated by blackberry, raspberry, and boysenberry, accented by hints of plum and cherry. Layers of baking spices, including cinnamon and clove, mingle with nuances of vanilla and toasted oak. Subtle earthy undertones add depth and complexity.
Palate: Full-bodied and rich, with velvety tannins that provide structure and texture. Flavors of blackberry jam and dark cherry dominate the palate, accompanied by notes of bramble, dried herbs, and a touch of cocoa powder. The wine's ripe fruit is balanced by well-integrated oak, leading to a long, satisfying finish.
Mouthfeel: Opulent and plush, with a smooth and supple mouthfeel that envelops the palate. The wine's ample fruit concentration is complemented by a hint of sweetness, while lively acidity adds brightness and freshness.
Overall Impression: Our 2021 Paso Robles Zinfandel is a bold and expressive wine that showcases the region's signature varietal in all its glory. Rich, ripe, and full of flavor, it offers a hedonistic experience for lovers of big, bold reds. Enjoy this Zinfandel with hearty dishes like barbecue ribs, grilled steak, or spicy sausage pasta. It's a perfect choice for gatherings with friends or cozy nights by the fire.
