Flavor Profiles
Highly viscous, this wine has a deep red to black core, and a brick red rim. It opens with aromas of cherry liqueur, raspberry jam, brown sugar, almond extract, and dark chocolate powder. Flavors of black cherry, raspberry, rum-soaked raisins, dried florals, and dark chocolate fill the palate, and flow to a smooth and round finish. Dense, luscious, and rich, this wine is a pleasure to sip and enjoy on its own or with dessert.
The fruit for this wine come from our estate vineyard – Twin Rivers Vineyard in El Dorado county. The terroir here is ideal for not only our signature Zinfandel, but also a selection of Portuguese varieties grown specifically for this wine.
This nonvintage wine is made using a traditional process called solera aging which blends multiple vintages together with a small amount of aged, high-quality brandy. This method, common in the Old World, creates a consistent dessert wine year to year, with a depth of flavor that can’t be achieved any other way.
