Big Ass Zin
2008 Sonoma County Zinfandel
Wine
A powerhouse red! Enjoy our Zin for its ample and full-flavored style. Ripe blueberry and blackberry aromas are layered with a complex range of black olive, fig, and other spicy and savory characters. On the palate, ripe red fruit flavors are integrated with flavors of chocolate and vanilla. Our Zinfandel is aged for over 17 months in a mix of French and American oak, which give the wine a hint of oak and vanilla on the finish as well as velvety, fine-grain tannins.
