title: Elyse 2012 Morisoli Vineyard Zinfandel (Rutherford)
description: Thick in cherry-vanilla, big oak and tannin, this vineyard-designate contains handfuls of Petite Sirah and mixed blacks that are, as the producer puts it, too long to list. Given 10 months in American oak, it offers a balance of fruit and leathery power, from raspberry and blackberry to Sunday morning bacon. Drink now through 2020.
variety: Zinfandel
designation: Morisoli Vineyard
