Winemaker’s Notes:
This is our 8th vintage of Break Away Zinfandel. Like all the previous vintages this wine has
elegance, good balance, soft tannins, a sustained finish and rich in varietal
character. The name Break Away is a
symbol of these attributes and to distinguish it from other Zinfandels that are
robust, jammy and heavy in alcohol and oak flavors.
This wine was made in our “Submerged Cap” Fermentation Tank
and aged in predominantly French oak for 15 months. It is a fully extracted wine with strong
varietal aromas of blackberries and black cherries, which carry into the
mid-palate adding nuances of black pepper.
The long finish also reveals coffee and chocolate flavors.
