2015 Papera Vineyard Zinfandel

The 2015 Papera Zinfandel has it all! At first nosing, aromas of boysenberry, blueberry, black cherry, and lavender seem to jump from the glass. With aeration and further study, notes of anise, chocolate mint, saddle leather, potpourri, and Tellicherry peppercorn emerge. The palate is focused with a refreshing spine of acidity that gives the wine length and vivacity. Flavors of plum and berries round out the framework while being supported by hints of star anise and dried citrus peel. Another outstanding wine from this stalwart, old vine site.
