Appellation: Alexander Valley
Owner/Winemaker: Chris Bilbro
Release date: January 2009

The 2008 Zinfandel was picked very ripe, but still within the range of balance. Ripe flavors were achieved with high sugars and a heady, full bodied resulting wine. The aromas are bright red and black berries with pepper and spice. The moutfeel is very lush with palate coating blackberry flavors, spice, and slight hints of toasty oak. Leaning more towards our Angeli Cuvee style, this wine should age quite well for up to 10 years due to its depth and structure.
