63% Zinfandel, 27% Syrah, and 10% Petite Sirah
There are 15 barrels of the 2018 Estate Cuvee, which is a blend of 63% Zinfandel, 27% Syrah, and the balance Petite Sirah. More closed aromatically and dark, dense, and meaty (no doubt due to the Syrah and Petite Sirah), it slowly gives up loads of black and blue fruits, ground pepper, brambly herbs, and cedar. Rich, full-bodied, and concentrated on the palate, it offers a more mouthfilling, powerful style compared to the other Zinfandels in the lineup, yet stays classic, balanced, and structured. Give it a year or three.
