The 2017 Zinfandel Ponzo Vineyards is blended of 98% Zinfandel and 2% Petite Sirah. It aged ten months in 100% air-dried American oak, 10% new. Medium ruby-purple colored, it opens with youthfully gregarious aromas of sliced stone fruits (smoked cranberries and red cherries), desiccated flowers, baked blueberries and gobs of underbrush, licorice and exotic spices. It's medium to full-bodied, layered, perfumed and light on its feet, with a ripe, grainy frame and just enough juicy freshness on the long, floral finish.
