2023 Grace & Grit Zinfandel Dry Creek

Showing the coolness of the 2023 vintage, this Grace & Grit Zinfandel from Dry Creek Valley offers cool blue fruit notes, nuanced by espresso bean and elegant cedarwood aromatics. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, that blue fruit mingles with black cherry and clove, while fine-grained tannins have a dusting of white pepper spice, all culminating in a juicy crescendo on the lengthy finish with a hint of unsweetened cocoa powder. In short, delicious. (To be published November 2025)
