Charter Oak 2002 Zinfandel, Napa Valley

The # 1 new Zinfandel we discovered at the annual Zinfandel release trade show (ZAP) in January!

Charter Oak is a small boutique Napa producer of some of the finest Zinfandels we've tasted. Fans of Turley and Martinelli Zins will be dazzled by this high octane Zen experience! One of the most seductive and complex Zin blends (8% old vine Petit Sirah added in for muscle) we’ve ever tasted! The depth of flavors in this wine create a virtual ‘assault’ on your senses, combining cherry liqueur, lush blackberries, melted licorice, with a hint of fresh blueberries and vanilla extract on the opulent French oak finish. Drink this exciting offering over the next 3 - 5 years.Only 300 cases produced!
