2022 Problem Child

“I once made a Zinfandel that was troubled in its youth. The more I intervened, the more it got away from me. But after I started practicing patience, the wine turned out great. I called it Problem Child, and I learned a valuable lesson about Zinfandel. It’s a fickle grape and prone to weird fermentations, yet it almost always turns out fine in the end. Just like most problem children.”

Tasting Notes:

Effusive on the nose with dark vine fruits, cherry blossom, boysenberry and cocoa. A viscous and engulfing palate with cherry, fruit leather, graham cracker andn tobacco-earthiness. Zinfandel takes the spotlight while drawing energy and complexity from its supporting cast, yielding a blend of intricate dimension.
