A rustic old school Zinfandel that is bracing yet elegant.  Brambly berries dominate with tart huckleberry, Cowiche cherry and black currant.  A softening tannin structure gives the wine substance and the velvety texture lingers along with the dry finish.  A food friendly Zin that pairs well with wine braised short ribs, or marinated & grilled Portobello mushrooms.
