Ultra-jammy and ripe on the nose, it offers up plenty of raspberry liqueur, plum, candied fruit, and spice. The palate brings lavish amounts of red and black berry, baking spices, black tea and a warm, toasty finish. If you love BIG zins, this is a must have.

Brown Estate Winery

In the mid-1990s, as a result of rising demand for their fruit, Deneen and David, then both residing on the vineyard property, made the decision to produce wine under their own label. Because they had no winery facility on site, they secured a custom crush contract with Rombauer Vineyards in Saint Helena, and for six years they produced their wines at the Rombauer facility. On January 29, 2000, Brown Estate debuted their first two vintages of Napa Valley zinfandel, 1996 and 1997, at the annual Zinfandel Advocates and Producers (ZAP) tasting at Fort Mason in San Francisco.
