Vineyard 29 Zinfandel Aida 2017
Wow! This is a supremely delicious example of the heights that can be achieved when one of Napa’s most celebrated winemakers has his way with the best Zinfandel vineyard in America. The bouquet is resplendent with celestial aromas of smoked duck, Provencal herbs, dark chocolate and spicy cherries. French oak provides a hedonistically creamy texture that compliments luscious dark fruit, blackberry liqueur, and a touch of graphite. On the finish this wine offers superb structure and a galaxy of sensuous flavors including ripe red fruit and dark chocolate dust reminiscent of a decadent raspberry chocolate torte. This is a treat to drink now and will continue to evolve gracefully in the cellar through 2027.
