Le Colline Estate Zinfandel 2021
$65.00 / 750 ml
The 2021 Estate Zinfandel opens with an earth driven nose – mushrooms, cedar spice, allspice, and plum. The palate is light and elegant with gentle tannins that are in balance with the brighter fruit flavors. The wine finishes smooth, soft and lush. This is not your average Jammy Zinfandel, but a more complex offering with great balance and finesse.
