Elyse Rutherford Zinfandel Morisoli Vineyard 2016

Sink your teeth into a wine born from the oldest vines in Napa—this field blend anchored by 81% Zinfandel springs from Morisoli Vineyard's gravelly soils and heritage vines dating to 1902. Elyse has been crafting this bottling since 1987, when Ray and Nancy launched the winery with grapes from this exact vineyard. Expect a dynamic interplay of ripe red and black fruit, briar patch florals, and peppery spice, with earth and cocoa underneath. The structure and depth reward bold food pairings—or confident solo sipping.
