2017 Chiles Mill Vineyard Zinfandel

Chiles Mill Vineyard at 1000 feet elevation overlooks Chiles Canyon and the remnant walls of the grist mill built by pioneer J.B. Chiles. Includes heritage Zinfandel cuttings from Pacini, Picchetti, Geyserville, and Hambrecht.

Pomegranate and raspberry with hints of white pepper, tarragon, and bay laurel. Gorgeous and polite tannins resolve to a clean finish with refreshing acidity.

Wine Spectator - 93 "A wine that suggests a sense of place, this is refined and just a hint rustic, which adds to the authenticity. Notes of cherry and pomegranate are laced with hints of white pepper and bay leaf. Drink now through 2030." — Tim Fish
