Tasting notes
The 2019 Zinfandel Montafi Ranch is a rich, heady Russian River Zinfandel marked by strong savory and floral accents. Montafi is planted with a relatively high percentage of mixed blacks, which certainly adds to the wine's complexity. Dried herb, bay leaf, crushed flowers and dark-fleshed fruit build a wine of complexity and distinction.

Medium ruby-purple, the 2019 Zinfandel Montafi Ranch opens with broody touches of tar and iron over deeper tones of blood orange and rhubarb. Medium-bodied, it has a firm grip and juicy acidity to support its dark, mineral-laced fruits, and it finishes very long. It feels youthfully wound and could use another year or two in bottle. 241 cases were made.
