Tasting notes
The 2013 Zinfandel Kirschenmann Vineyard emerges from a parcel of dry-farmed head-trained vines in Lodi planted on sandy soils. Hard candy, flowers, cinnamon, mint and sweet tobacco meld together in a pliant, supple Zinfandel built on texture and roundness. This is a striking Zinfandel loaded with varietal aromas, textures and flavors. I imagine the 2013 will offer a long and wide window of pure drinking pleasure.

Made from 100% Zinfandel, but tasting more like a Grenache, the 2013 Zinfandel Kirschenmann Vineyard exhibits a light ruby color along with lots of red and black cherry, loamy soil, pepper and spice notes. This sexy, delicious, open-knit wine tips the scales at 15.3% natural alcohol. Drink now-2019.
