Shannon Ridge High Elevation Collection Zinfandel 2021

A bold and expressive red from Lake County’s volcanic soils, the 2021 High Elevation Collection Zinfandel benefits from the intense sunlight and cooling mountain breezes of its high-altitude vineyard sites. This wine displays a deep crimson colour and offers an aromatic profile rich in ripe blackberry, raspberry jam, and dark plum, accented by signature notes of cracked black pepper and dried herbs. On the palate, it is full-bodied and robust yet retains a remarkable brightness due to its mountain acidity. Supple tannins support layers of jammy fruit, toasted oak, and a hint of sweet tobacco, leading to a long, spicy finish that is characteristic of premium California Zinfandel.
