This wine has the “Vineyard Select” designation, meaning the fruit was sourced from other vineyards than our own “Estate” property The fruit was harvested by hand and was quite ripe at 25 6 Brix, very typical of Paso “Zin” Grapes were in excellent condition when received at the winery Untoasted French oak fermentation ‘rice’ was added to assist in color and flavor extraction.

This is a very forward, fruit-driven wine and the new oak was used to balance out the wine’s weight.
