winemaker's notes:

Medium, dark ruby-violet color. Opulent, sweet violet, raspberry and black pepper aromas with a hint of dark cocoa powder from the new oak. Showing medium-full body, the flavors are rich, succulent and balanced, with berry-pepper flavors echoing the aromas. Quite spicy, lush and round with medium tannins and good acidity. A great barbecue wine, and one that marries well with wild game or spicy pastas as well.

A Customer - Augusta, GA
This wonderful Zin can easily compete with Zins twice this price range. It is bold and has it going on. BV is one of the oldest vineyards in CA and has gotten lost in the loop. Give it a try again, you will be happy with the results.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.

Organically grown grapes
