Scarlett 2019 Zinfandel

Winery Notes:

Moonless dark night and opulent ruby hues greet the eye.  A classic Zinfandel nose explodes with briary red fruit, licorice root and a bramble berry compote.  Glass coating glycerin and natural acidity lift the aromatics and mid palate, which is medium plus in weight, and frame this garnet beauty throughout the spectrum.  In the mouth, the palate is loaded with mixed dark fruits, spice cake and root beer along with a kiss of new oak.  An undeniable streak of anise right down the middle glides into a 20 second plus finish. Full bodied and structured, a one hour decant works magic with this wine or lay it down for a few years to uncover hidden layers and complexitites.
