Tasting notes
Suitably juicy nose with blueberry and black cherry. Sweetly spiced, softly structured. Big alcohol but big fruit concentration too. The loudest guy in the room, but you can't help like him. Long, spiced persistence. (RH)

Juicy blackberry fruit, milk chocolate, fine tannins and a rich, full palate with a chalky firm finish. Quite serious and introspective for Zinfandel. (RH)
Medium garnet colored, the 2014 Zinfandel Cortina offers baked black cherries, mulberries, prunes and eucalyptus notes with a Chinese five spice and forest floor undercurrent. Full-bodied, the palate delivers a relatively fresh style with plenty of spicy black fruit preserves backed up by lively acid and a light grip of chewy tannins, finishing long and earthy.
