Black cherry, much better authenticity than their Lodi Zinfandel. Hot finish, but that makes sense in context! (RH)

The 2013 Zinfandel Ancient Vines (nearly 59,000 cases produced) is 100% Zinfandel aged seven months in one-third new American oak. Peppery and spicy, with notes of roasted herbs, black cherries and blackberries, this medium-bodied, elegant, pure 2013 should drink well for 1-2 years.
