Tasting Notes & Flavor Profile
On the nose, vibrant wild blackberry mingles with warm baking spices and a hint of ancho chili—a signature Zinfandel aroma rarely achieved. The subtle Vermentino addition brightens the palate with white peach and citrus zest, while the medium-bodied structure delivers smooth, dusty tannins (a Venturi Vineyard hallmark) and refreshing acidity. At 12.5% ABV, it’s an elegant yet approachable choice for casual sipping or pairing.
