A Zinfandel in a throwback style, at only 13.8%, shows a real freshness of the old mountain style that California made famous, offering a sweetness of smoky fruits from American oak barrels. Smoked cinnamon and nutmeg spice open the aromatics, with hints of candied dates and dried apricot fruit. The palate is beguilingly fresh, with red and black cherries and cola spice notes. A bite of fresh red plum lifts roasted cinnamon stick and exotic warm spices. Tasted with winemaker Jesús Rivera and owner Gustavo Ortega Joaquín in November of 2024 at the estate.
