Winemaker Leslie Sisneros Notes
Zinfandel Vineyard:
The panoramic Elsbree Vineyard is perched on gravely hillside soils overlooking Russian River Valley from the northeastern corner.
Wine:
An elegant zinfandel exhibiting briary black fruit, blueberry, ripe plum and strawberry notes typical of the region. Warm cloves and pepper from mature zinfandel fruit lead into mid-palate structure, with a creamy oak finish.
