2007 Mustard Creek Zinfandel
If black inky purple zin is what you seek, this is
the wine for you. Aromas are made up of toasty vanilla, chocolate and array of berry fruits. The mouth feel is bursting with ripe raspberries, cherries and blueberries. With the addition of the Petite Sirah the wine has everlasting longevity.
