Artezin Zinfandel (Mendocino) 19

Welcoming aromas of pomegranate, boysenberry, and black fruits are followed by juicy red raspberry, red cherry, and black cherry flavors, all of which are framed by a subtle pepper note. Aromas of blackberries, complemented by savory notes of fresh ground pepper, and dried herbs. The supple fruit notes are complemented by elements of baking spice, most notably clove and cinnamon, with soft, smooth tannins delivering a round, balanced finish. This Hess Artezin Mendocino Old Vine Zinfandel is the ideal gift and can be purchased online with price and reviews available. The vineyard consists of a few small Zinfandel blocks which provide the framework for this offering. On the palate, a rich entry of black cherry gives way to a supple tannin structure with intriguing notes of bakers chocolate, followed by a lingering finish. This wine showcases all of the signature varietal characters of Zinfandel wrapped in what the winemaker affectionately calls Zinniness!
