"We have been making Zinfandel from the Morisoli Vineyard since 1986 and have been the only producer working with these grapes since 1988. The old field-blend vines, Rutherford Bench terroir, and traditional farming practices always create a truly distinctive Zinfandel. The 2010 vintage is dark violet colored with aromas of ripe raspberries, blackberries and hints of lightly smoked chilies and sweet spice. It is smooth and supple on the palate with rich yet bright flavors of black raspberry, cherries and cassis along with a touch of smoked bacon and plum. Morisoli Zinfandel is classic, seriously elegant and balanced Napa Zinfandel (not dessert wine). It has layers of gorgeous fruit with a deep, underlying complexity that is so characteristic of this vineyard."
