Sky Vineyards - Zinfandel 2016 (750ml) Barolo

Sky Vineyards - Zinfandel 2016 (750ml) BaroloPlanted at 2100 feet in volcanic soils way up on Mount Veeder, Sky makes a Zinfandel like no other. Spicy, wild, and balanced, it has nothing to do with the jammy Zinfandels that California has been known for. Ageworthy and expressive, they perfectly reflect this special terroir. Hand harvested, manually crushed with a 100 year old basket press, and aged in 1 10 year old French oak barrels.

A glorious wine

with concentrated spice plus rich white and kiwi fruits

It nestles
