Wine Description

Peter Franus Zinfandel ‘Brandlin Vineyard’ 2018 is youthful, vibrant, and medium ruby in color, the nose greets you with bramble fruits, white pepper, allspice, clove, and a touch of vanilla. The flavors reflect the nose with more wild berry notes, cranberry, and a hint of coffee. The tannins are subtle and integrated and lead to a lip-smacking finish. Plenty of pleasure here.
I like to ferment our Zinfandels at temperatures slightly lower than those for Bordeaux reds to accentuate the zesty and forward fruit character of the variety. Aging exclusively in Burgundian French oak barrels adds complexity as well as refinement to the wine.

WS – March 23, 2023

Well-structured yet rich, with zesty fruit, opening to plump blackberry, smoky sage, clove and other spices. Drink now through 2029. 925 cases made.
JD – March 23, 2023

Coming all from Mt. Veeder and a blend of 90% Zinfandel, and the rest Mourvèdre, Charbono, and Carignan, the 2018 Zinfandel Brandlin Vineyard has lots of black and blue fruits as well as classic Zinfandel candied orange, violet, and incense-like aromas and flavors. Nicely textured, medium-bodied, and beautifully balanced, drink this charming red over the coming 4-6 years.
