Estate Zinfandel 2018

a Zinfandel from Fair PlayCA
$33 per bottle

Our award-winning Zinfandel is a wine that can pair with most dinners but is also the perfect wine with any sunset. Since buying the property we have learned how best to farm this varietal which makes up the largest planted acreage of our estate. The warm garnet color of this wine combined with the aromas of Bing cherry, Ollalaberry and hints of freshly cut cedar invite you to take your first sip. Once the flavors of Grandma's homemade cranberry sauce, sun ripened cherry, and just a kiss of baking spices soaked in vanilla hit your palate, you won't be able to put the glass down. Add the balanced bright acidity with the perfect lingering finish this wine will easily become your daily favorite.
