Alloy Estate Blend 2018

a Zinfandel from Fair PlayCA
$35 per bottle

This Zinfandel-based blend is a favorite of our club members and customers and a top seller. It is a blend of 4 of our Estate red varietals. Delicious and versatile. This blend consists of 43% Zinfandel, 20% Syrah, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon and 18% Petite Sirah. An appealing plum color with aromas of leather and blueberry fruit and violet petal. The palate is bright with medium berry fruit, cola and youthful tannins with just a touch of currant coming through.
