Peter Franus Brandlin Vineyard Zinfandel 2019

I have had the privilege of working with the iconic Brandlin Vineyard since 1991. These 90-year old dry-farmed vines consistently produce an atypical complex and balanced.Zinfandel.

The 2019 is medium ruby in color, with a vibrant and enticing nose of raspberry, white pepper, allspice, and a touch of vanilla. In some ways, reminiscent of a fine Pinot Noir! An initially juicy black cherry impression gets reined by supporting tannins that curiously soon disappear into the background. Wonderfully palatable and pleasurable, this is what Zinfandel is all about.
