Tasting Notes

WA96

From the pure white soils/limestone terroir emerges the 2014 Zinfandel Pesenti Vineyard (15.8% alcohol). This is a warm area, but with cold soils, and the result is one of the great classics of Zinfandel from the Central Coast. The intensity of flavor, the colossal richness and the full-bodied power are totally concealed beneath a cascade of fruit. This multidimensional wine reveals gorgeous minerality, loads of black and red fruits, and even a hint of spring flowers. This is a stunner that is layered, extremely long, pure and heady. Drink it over the next decade. The Pesenti Vineyard was planted in the 1920s.

WS93

An exemplary Paso Zinfandel, with a fine core of minerally acidity and tannins wrapped in a sleek, rich structure, offering notes of raspberry, rose petal, clove and cracked pepper. Drink now through 2028.
