Deerfield Ranch Los Chamizal Vineyard Zinfandel 2016

The 2016 Deerfield Ranch Los Chamizal Vineyard Zinfandel is a powerful and concentrated expression of one of Sonoma Valley's most esteemed hillside vineyards. Known for its rocky, well-draining soils, Los Chamizal produces fruit with intense character and deep color. This 2016 vintage offers a robust bouquet of candied cherries, blackberries, and dark plums, layered with classic Zinfandel spice notes of black pepper, anise, and a touch of clove. As part of Deerfield's "Clean Wine" program, it undergoes meticulous filtration to ensure low sulfite levels, resulting in a remarkably smooth and polished palate despite its high alcohol content. The wine is full-bodied and decadent, featuring supple tannins and a long finish marked by nuances of dark chocolate, oak, and savory earthiness.
