Winemaker's Notes
The very concentrated flavors of wild raspberry, boysenberry, licorice and currants burst onto your palate. Aromas of ripe sweet raspberry cobbler and spice fill your glass. The ripe, fat tannins coat your mouth and finish with a perception of sweetness due to the mouth-watering acidity. Very dense and rich, it will age nicely over the years.

Awards and Reviews
2004 Forchini Vineyard Zinfandel
Deep ruby. Crushed black fruits, minerals and exotic citrus zest on the nose. Sweeter and more pliant than the Bacigalupi, with riper acids. But this has terrific density and superb fruit, and finishes with a powerful tannic spine. The crop level here was just a ton an acre, says Cabral.
