2019 Zinfandel
Break Away
Estate
Grown & Bottled
Sierra Foothills, CA
Winemaker's Notes:
This Zinfandel 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.
