Day Zinfandel Sonoma County 2016

A new project from Ehren Jordan who has been working with Zinfandel for years. He’s experimenting with whole-cluster fermentation (25% here) for the historic California grape, and judging from this wine it’s working. Zin at its best, with aromas of violets and iris lifting the ripe, jammy fruits – strawberry, blueberry, damson – and tempering its spicy licorice aromas. Juicy, ripe, and smooth – and irresistible.
