This Zinfandel blend was made from vineyards planted between 25 - 35 years ago (52%) with the balance (48%) being well over 100 years old. These "younger" vine Zinfandel grapes show the typical raspberry to blackberry fruit so dominate in the older vines in the area, validating the Contra Costa appellation. The "field blend" contingent of this wine adds structure, color, cherry, and black fruit flavors. There is a deep concentration of ripe black cherries and spice with a minerality (earthy berry) flavors sneaking through. The mouth-feel is rich and balanced with a lingering peppery finish. Enjoy now or age another 3 to 7 years.
