Vinification: We share the same growing principles with our friends at Magnum Solis. When we found out they wanted to share their Zinfandel harvest with us, we were thrilled. Hand picked on an early morning near the end of august, foot stomped and then fermented with 6 days skin maceration before being pressed. Élevage in (2) 225 Neutral Oak barrels for 34 months. Racked and bottled during descending moons. Ingredients: Grapes
Analysis: pH: 3.34p | TA: 0.72 g/l | RS: 0.16 g/l
Tasting Notes: Super blackberry jam and white pepper with some overripe fruit but without the masking Oak and high octane alcohol you usually find in typical California Paso Zins. Naked and raw, delicious. -Gelert, Winemaker
