Tortoise Creek Mendocino County 2023 Zinfandel

The Tortoise Creek Zinfandel is sourced from Certified Organic & sustainably farmed vineyards in Mendocino County and originally planted by Charlie Barra in 1955 (175 acres).

Initial notes of ripe raspberry, blackberry, and dark cherry are complemented by subtle hints of black pepper, vanilla, and a touch of smoky oak. On the palate, this zinfandel is full-bodied and robust. The lush fruit flavors of blackberry, plum, and raspberry are at the forefront, followed by layers of spice, including black pepper and a hint of clove. There’s a pleasant touch of dark chocolate and espresso, adding depth and complexity.
