From vines planted at an elevation of 2,400 feet, the 2017 Zinfandel Rattlesnake Ridge has a very deep ruby-black color and aromas of perfumed earth and crème de cassis with dense black fruit preserves at the core, plus charcuterie, meat and herbs hints. Full-bodied and huge in the mouth, with very dense, lush, ripe and perfumed black fruits, it has firm framing tannins and wonderful juicy acidity, finishing very long and layered. 1,200 cases produced.
