Tasting notes
The 2019 Zinfandel Steacy Ranch is a rich, exuberant wine with huge fruit presence and tons of varietal character. The Steacy tastes like a wine with elevated alcohol, but it is actually the lowest alcohol Zinfandel in the range, a reminder of how perception and reality aren't always the same. Juicy red-toned fruit, licorice, sweet spice and leather are all kicked up.

The 2019 Zinfandel Steacy Ranch has a medium ruby color and opens with a touch of tarry reduction over a core of wild berry preserves and earth. Medium-bodied, the palate features dark, earth-laced fruits with a grainy frame and uplifted finish. Give it another year or two in bottle or a long decant. 1,070 cases produced.
The 2019 Zinfandel Steacey Ranch opens with a blast of dark cherry, plum, spice, leather and tobacco. Ripeness is decidedly pushed. Readers should expect an exuberant, flamboyant wine with generous dark fruit and tons of body. There is plenty of immediacy, but not a lot of subtlety. The Steacey Ranch Zinfandel is a wine of impact, that is obvious.
