91% Zinfandel, 9% Syrah
Paderewski Vineyards
Willow Creek District, Paso Robles
The beautiful, mouth-filling fruit of 2017 is ever present in this Zinfandel. However, there’s a remarkable freshness and purity that lets the vineyard in this 100% Paderewski blend shine brightly through that boisterous fruit and spice. With lively sensation moving from lush fruit to rocky texture and bright acid, there is a swooshing sensation around the palate as it reveals black and blue fruits, ripe mandarin orange, warm underbrush, resinous lavender, crushed rocks, fresh cream, and vanilla/ clove spice. This wine is hedonism practicing well-appointed restraint. – Jordan Fiorentini
