“First made in 2002 (it was renamed to Lemorel Estate in 2012, which is the original name of the estate winery/property), the 2015 Zinfandel Lemorel Estate comes from very old vines that don’t ripen until the end of September and October. This bright, juicy, downright classy Zinfandel gives up beautiful notes of plums, spiced cherries, crushed violets, and complex cedar and sandalwood. It’s a more elegant, vibrant, complex style of Zinfandel that will age gracefully for a decade or more.”
