"Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, chocolate, leather, menthol and licorice all flesh out in the 2017 Zinfandel Esola Vineyard. Dense, pliant and inviting, the wine impresses with its exceptional balance and pure class. Zinfandel planted on St. George rootstock on this site with red clay over decomposed granite soils yields a wine of real distinction. The Esola was aged entirely in 600-gallon barrels, which seems to allow the fruit to be super-expressive."
