2017 Zinfandel Reserve, Sven & Ole, Contra Costa County

This is the type of wine that my dad loved me to make. Thus, this wine is a tribute to my dad and to Sven and Ole, who personify my dad’s fun and easy-going personality and the joie de vivre he shared with everyone he met. Cheers to Kent, the best dad to ever walk planet Earth. This delicious wine has nuances of white pepper, pipe tobacco, strawberry, saddle leather, eucalyptus, berry pie, and black tea with fine tannins on the finish from the French oak barrels. All of the barrels in this lot were made from wood harvested in the freezing-cold forests in the Allier region of France.
