The Ink Grade Vineyard Zinfandel is made in a classic expression of the variety and stays true to the many wonderful characteristics of Zinfandel. This wine hails from our Ink Grade Vineyard, high upon Howell Mountain where the flavor of mountainside grown fruit noticeably stands out. Notes of red cherry, tart plum, ripe raspberries and cassis are complemented by a toasted marshmallow and a hint of vanilla from the oak barrel aging. True to the Heitz style, our Zinfandel is crafted with finesse, lending balance to the refreshing acidity and silky structure that makes this wine a perfect food pairing choice.
