| Winemaker Tasting Notes: |
The 97-year-old Highwire Vineyard takes its name from the vineyards trellising systems: half of the parcel is head trained and half is trained on an unusually high wire strung between each vine.
Consistently distinctive cracked white pepper nuances differentiate the Highwire Vineyard Zin from other old-vine Zins. Intense, wild blackberry and boysenberry fruit flavors also complement white pepper, nutmeg and cinnamon notes in the finish.
