Highlands Zinfandel

WHY WE LOVE IT:

• 100% Hoxsey Vineyard, Oakville fruit. Not everyone has access to this old vine Zin
• Our #1 Best Selling Zinfandel
• Classic Old Vine Zin, not a jammy bomb, great with food

WINEMAKER: Bradley Smith: Silenus. 

WHAT WE TASTED:

The beautiful wine deep berry color is only a prelude to an aromatic nose filled with cassis and a bit of smoke and pepper. Inviting balance of spice and creamy oak undertones flesh out the juicy blackberry, pomegranate and light citrus flavors this vineyard is known for.  A long and soft silky finish completes this fresh and sassy Zin.  

AVA DESIGNATED: Oakville, Napa Valley

WHAT WE PAIRED:

• Heritage pork roasted with fingerling potatoes

• Grilled wild mushrooms with fennel sprinkles and Gruyere shavings

• Rotisserie duck tacos

• Truffle and Parm risotto
