2016 Zinyatta Zinfandel, Columbia Valley
Now SOLD OUT. Dark ruby in color with plum, black cherry, mineral and wet stone aromas. Ripe bramble fruit right out of the gate lead to balanced acidity and rich dense layers of blackberry, violet and spice. Closing strong with elegant tannins on an extended finish.

Washington Wine Blog says ... Toasty oak and black fruits with hints of coffee grounds hit the nose. Forward and juicy, with good mineral backbone, this delivers copious dark fruits with a touch of chocolate. If you don't mind the layers of toasty oak, this is an excellent Washington Zinfandel that is best enjoyed in the short-term. Drink 2019-2023
