Located on Sonoma Mountain, the influence of this vineyard’s red volcanic soil combines with the fruity characteristics of the grapes to produce an excellent, very distinctive Zinfandel. The flavors from these vineyards exude intense aromas of raspberries and strawberries blended with notes of chocolate-covered cherries and white pepper with a long, excellent finish.
