Grape Profile: Zinfandel is often characterized by a fruit-forward style with blackberry, cherry, raspberry and sometimes blueberry flavors. It can also have other flavors and aromas of black pepper, cloves, anise and earthy notes like dried herbs, tobacco, cedar, and tar. Sometimes the flavors can seem over-ripe.
Region Profile: Coombsville is a lesser-known Napa Valley subregion with cooler conditions due to its proximity to San Pablo Bay and hillside topography. This moderates ripening, promoting elegance, structure, and terroir expression in the grapes grown in this AVA.
