The Phipps Family Cellars 2021 Sonoma County Ranches Zinfandel from Dry Creek Valley is delicious and wonderfully balanced.

In the nose, the 2021 SCR Zinfandel shows off a stunning all-spice Crème Brulé that is accented by the alluring aromatics of toasty cedar, warm baking spices, white pepper and bright cherry intensity intermingled with blueberry & dark Zinberry. On the palate, brambly flavors of dark berries like boysenberry and dark raspberry come forward to reveal soft, evenly spread tannins that warm the palate with further mouthcoating flavors of light cocoa , dark cherry juice , toasty crystallized ginger and Dry Creek Dust. The wine is complex, with bright acidity complimented by deeper notes of nutmeg and mocha.

From start to finish, this remarkable wine offers refreshing acidity paired with excellent structure This wine is beautiful now but will age through 2027 and beyond, if you desire.
