Zinfandel

2012
Like a beautiful rose garden, this Zin seems harmless enough - flaunting an ethereal nose of potpourri, black raspberry, 5-spice and sweet bay. But soon it pricks your palate with black fruits, orange peel, underbrush and chocolate. After making known its dangers it finishes with seductive tannins begging you to reach for it once again.

2008
Seductive bright red fruits, anise and cinnamon open up this beastly Zin. Sultry molten chocolate rasperry cake, saddle leather and sandal wood spice lead into a well endowed finish that begs for marinated ribs smoked on a wood fired spit. [86% Zinfandel, 7% Petit Verdot, 7% Syrah] 274 cases produced ($38.25 to Comus Members) Wine Club Only
2007
Exotic wild berry and smoky, spicy chocolate aromas lead to intense, jammy dark berry flavors. The long, spicy finish shows a hint of rhubarb pie and toasted graham crackers. [85%Zinfandel, 7% Petit Verdot, 7% Syrah]. ($35.70 to Comus Members) Wine Club Only
2006
The nose bursts out with ripe, spicy boysenberry jam aromas. On the palate the intense, ripe berry characters are balanced with round, smooth tannins and bright acidity that draw out the long jammy finish. [86% Zinfandel, 7% Syrah, 7% Mourvedre]. Wine Club Only
2005
Our first Zinfandel release shouts out ripe raspberry and strawberry jam, sandalwood spice and toffee/cocoa powder aromas on the nose. On the palate, these elements reappear and lend some finesse to this big, lush, ripe Zinfandel based blend.
