Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Balverne Estate Forever Wild Russian River Valley Zinfandel 2021, Sonoma County, California
Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim, and medium plus intensity.
Fruity nose of red and blue fruits with red candy, light wood, spices, chocolates and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with red currants, red cherries, light oak, peppercorn, light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth, light vegetables and tobacco leaf.
Short finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is an easy drinking Zinfandel from Russian River Valley. Fruit forward with nice complexity. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel.
Earthy, with lots of red fruits, and surprisingly unlike a typical California Zinfandel.
Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself or with food. A good party wine too.

14.3% alcohol by volume.
