2006 Zinaz |
| When we stopped making Zinaz after the 2001 vintage I never imagined that it would cause such an upset. So needless to say back by popular demand the 2005 Zinaz was a superb blend of Very Old Vine Zinfandel and Syrah. The fruit forward Zinfandel with its jammy tones blend perfectly with the smoky Syrah. I have to admit I am glad that everyone stepped up for Zinaz because I almost forgot just how great these two grapes go together. The 2006 vintage is quickly becoming a collectors choice here at the winery. Don't miss out on this one. More Details |
