“A unique field blend of Zinfandel and fourteen other grape varieties from a heritage Russian River Valley vineyard, originally planted in 1890 and partially replanted in 1950 by Americo Rafanelli.”- David Ramey
palate
Traditional Zinfandel palate weight, not too heavy, with the added complexity of the other varietals.
