2009 Papera Vineyard Zinfandel

After a rough year in 2008 due to frost damage, the Coulson Family grew some classic old vine zinfandel fruit in 2009. This wine exhibits exceedingly concentrated flavors of wild raspberry, cassis, chocolate and Asian spice that explode in your mouth. The aromas are comparable, but with a high-toned, fragrant edge to them. Big, rich mouth coating grape tannins give way to an extended jammy finish.
