2023 Holystone Zinfandel
A zinfandel with an abundance of flavor, energized by lively acidity. Raspberries, red plum, and dark cherries up front, while pliable tannins weave together layered notes of red currants and allspice. Cinnamon and star anise further engage the mid-palate, with hickory and vanilla notes enlivening the lengthy finish.

Winemaker Notes
Zinfandel is one of the varietals that put Paso Robles on the map. Our RBZ Vineyard, located in the El Pomar sub-AVA of Paso Robles, offers ideal conditions for zinfandel, with its beautiful limestone soils and perfect growing temperatures. Holystone blends our finest zinfandel blocks with a touch of petite sirah from our estate vineyard. Each block is hand-picked, fermented in stainless steel tanks, and aged for 18 months. We carefully select barrels that emphasize the spiced character of zinfandel while still showcasing the vintage's signature aromas. Over time, we've discovered that once- and twice-used barrels best preserve the fruit, allowing just the right amount of spice.
