The 2017 Zinfandel Mead Ranch has a deep ruby-purple color and very spicy, Syrah-like nose of cracked black pepper, smoked meats, fried herbs and herbal hints with incredibly dense, lush blue and black fruits at the core. Medium to full-bodied with savory, spicy dark fruits in the mouth, it's framed by firm, ripe tannins and just enough freshness to lift the very long, dense, savory finish. 850 cases produced.
