The Cigar Zin has notes of deep black fruit, a punch of spice and crushed black pepper on the nose. The rich, lush and well structured wine is hearty with exotic fruit characteristics. Hand harvested at peak season to ensure quality and flavor. The fruit for Cigar Zin was sorted then fermented for 7 days. We prepared the wine in French (50%) and American (50%) oak barrels for 11 months. California.
