Mount Peak Rattlesnake Zinfandel 2021

A burly, full-bodied wine overflowing with dried fruit flavors. Made from grapes from the Louis M. Martini Monte Rosso vineyard and dosed with 5% petite sirah. Moderate tannins and a surprising dash of good fruit acidity keep it lively while being super-ripe and rather high in alcohol. Dried grapes, dried plums, blackberries and hints of black pepper and orange oil. Drink or hold.

The 2021 Zinfandel Rattlesnake contains 6% Petite Sirah and was matured for 14 months in 30% new French and American oak. It has open, inviting aromas of red and black cherries and plums, charcuterie, cardamom and star anise. The full-bodied palate is velvety and refreshing with layered, perfumed flavors, integrated oak spices and a long finish. 4,406 cases produced.
