Genes Block Zinfandel 2021

$48.00 / 750 ml
Aromas of chewy dried black cherry, hints of fresh blackberry and lots of black pepper spice. The palate has lots of fruit up front with vanilla, earth, spice and sandalwood notes on the mid palate and finish. Dried and fresh fruit tones really abound in this wine. The finish is layered and complex with delicate tannins and good acidity and overall finishes with complexity and depth.
