Very ripe on the nose with milk chocolate, coffee and black raspberry before broad, candied flavors of coffee and black raspberry and red cherry plus lots of fine tannin. The finish is long and medium-broad. Nicely balanced and structured with very ripe flavors.

Wine maker notes

"Zinfandel is a California classic. Its fruit flavors jump out at you ? ripe blackberries and succulent plums held together with spicy notes of cinnamon, clove and peppercorn. The layers of flavors and supportive structure coat the mouth and resonate with spice before slipping smoothly down the throat. It is a beautiful wine and pairs nicely with an herb-crusted pork loin, seasoned Italian sausages and farmhouse cheeses." -- Ron Schrieve, Winemaker Beringer Founders` Estate
