The 2018 Manifesto Zinfandel delivers classic flavors of blackberry jam, raspberries, plums, chocolate covered cherries, and black pepper spice, but with layers of other nuanced flavors. We are consistently one of the earliest to harvest our grapes, allowing them to just reach ripeness, but before sugars shoot through the roof. This allows you to taste subtle hints of tobacco leaf, nutmeg, and pomegranate. A regiment of 20% new French Oak for 12 months gives a kiss of toast and a soft texture that is the perfect background to highlight the beauty of Manifesto Zinfandel.
