Taster’s Notes:

“Big wine, dark purple, concentrated, big nose of sugar, burnt oak and vanilla with flavor profile of some mocha, raisins, figs and oak.”

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

“A savory composition of berry preserves, toffee and spicy oak aromatics serves as a beautiful introduction to our latest offering. This elegant wine lingers on the palate, slowly drifting to a chewy, yet supple finish.”

Winemaker Notes: “Chocolate, blueberry, blackberry, vanilla and spice fragances...silken richness on the palate,barrel aged in oak...excellent aging potential, limited bottling".

Vineyard Notes: “Steacy Ranch was one of the first vineyards planted on St. George rootstock in Lodi, which has since become the gold standard for Zinfandel in California. Hailing from 1907, the Zinfandel vines in this sandy-soiled vineyard are interspersed with Grenache, Carignane, and Mission varieties as well, all common bedfellows in these classic old California vineyards.”

Rating: 94 Points (Jeff Dunneck)

"The 2015 Zinfandel Pagani Ranch is 83% Zinfandel 10% Alicante Bouschet, and the balance Petite Sirah, all from the Sonoma Valley. This ripe, sexy, flamboyant beauty gives up a huge nose of sweet plums, melted licorice, violets, and dried herbs. It medium to full-bodied, has juicy acidity, and is a bigger, richer styled wine compared to the slightly more elegant 2014. This beautiful, pure, powerful Zinfandel is ideal for drinking over the coming decade."

Winemaker Notes: “Full ruby-violet color. Ripe, jammy blackberry, licorice and pepper aromas with a hint of dark chocolate make this our most intensely aromatic Port yet. Full-bodied, yet graceful blackfruit, cassis and spicy-blackpepper flavors are enriched by firm but integrated tannins, and a warm but not fiery finish. The alcohol is already well-married into the structure of the wine, and the luscious finish suggests this wine will age gracefully for a decade or more. Ideal with chocolate or berry fruit desserts, as well as blue-veined cheeses.”
