2019 Etrusca "Velia" Russian River Valley Zinfandel

Magenta/purple-colored, the 2019 Zinfandel Velia is a field blend that includes the addition of Alicante Bouschet, Carignane, and Petite Sirah. It jumps from the glass with aromas of mixed berries, candied flowers, cocoa, and sweet earth. Ripe and long on the palate, it offers a luxurious, plush texture, with sweet tannins and a good deal of generous, ripe concentration of sweet fruit through the finish. Drink over the next 5-7 years.
