description: Lusty, powerful, ripe and concentrated, this Zin could also be described by the old Yiddish word, zaftig. The vineyard is in a warm part of the valley, and the grapes show the influence of sun and heat in the jammy, slightly baked quality of the cherries and blackberries. It's a really fine example of Russian River Zinfandel.
variety: Zinfandel
designation: Butler Vineyard
