Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
A full-bodied wine with a dense core of fresh raspberry and cranberry fruit
intertwined with a peppery spice. Soft tannins and moderate acidity nicely balance
the robust fruit and cedar spice flavors in this food friendly wine.
Vineyard Notes
The 2016 vintage began with below average rainfall as the Paso Robles area
continues to be effected by drought. The dry start was followed by above average
warm temperatures that lasted through June, at which point temperatures became
more moderate. The 2016 vintage has excellent depth of color and wonderful flavor
maturity.
Production Notes
The grapes we use for the Zinfandel are from cooler districts in Paso Robles. The
cooler overnight lows help the grapes mature slowly, creating density and
complexity. The wine is aged in a mixture of Eastern European and American Oak
for 14 months.
Other Notes
California’s pristine Central Coast is home to Paso Robles – one of the world’s most
exciting wine regions. Rolling terrain, varied soils and climate combine to create
exquisite growing conditions for exceptional fruit used to make award winning
wine. At Robert Hall, we capture the essence of Paso Robles in every bottle.
