The 2014 Napa Valley Zinfandel yields a highly perfumed nose with rose petals and red fruits. This possesses excellent weight and balance, while showing notable poise considering the heat of the vintage, the wine slowly unveils red raspberry, red cherry and teaberry flavors with lovely underlying minerality. While this is fantastic wine to approach now, it should also hold up nicely with a few years of additional bottle age. (Best 2017-2024) - August, 2017 (OB)
