Edmeades Mendocino Zinfandel 2021 is a blend from small growers across Mendocino County, fermented with native yeasts to preserve the character of the fruit. Mountain-grown Zinfandel from this coastal region tends toward concentration and balance, qualities that define this wine.
The nose opens with Christmas spice, cinder, and the warm impression of baked blackberry tart. On the palate, the wine is lushly fruited with concentrated flavors of plum and blackberry compote, thick with dark cherry flesh. Clove and cinnamon run through the mid-palate, adding aromatic weight and zest. Despite all that richness and spice, the finish arrives clean and fresh, refusing to overstay its welcome.
