2021 Wheelhouse Zinfandel

There’s an ethos in the glass when it comes to quality Zinfandel from Paso Robles. Sensory perception meets emotional connection with California’s Central Coast, where picturesque oak trees frame scenic vineyards. The 2021 Sextant Wheelhouse Zinfandel continues to represent local character with the signature intensity of strawberry, raspberry, and cranberry fruit. Fragrant violets waft on the approach as cinnamon, vanilla, and sage notes weave nuanced layers across the entire palate. This vintage expresses vibrant acidity and pliable tannins that enable regional hallmarks of this varietal—robust texture with a sumptuous finish.

"Lush black cherry compote aromas meet with chai-like spice and anise on the nose of this bottling. The core of black cherry and vanilla ice cream flavors make for a rich palate, which offers just enough tannin for balance." — Matt Kettmann
