Tasting Notes
The 2022 Wente Vineyards Small Lot Zinfandel is full of ripe plum, black pepper, warm vanilla and dark chocolate. Jammy blackberry and fig form the core of the palate along with supporting notes of black pepper and spice. Deeply filled with vibrant acidity and a firm spine of tannins, this wine offers up enough balance for indulgent early drinking but also plenty of fruity depth and structure to justify laying a few aside to explore its aging potential.
