Product Notes
Heitz Cellar Ink Grade Vineyard Zinfandel is a sensational red wine that showcases the perfect balance of fruit and acidity. Grown in a vineyard located on the eastern hillsides of Napa Valley, Ink Grade's 100-year-old vines are planted on steep, rocky slopes, leading to low yields and high-quality grapes. This wine exudes robust aromas of blackberry, raspberry, and vanilla, followed by a palate with notes of dark fruit, black pepper, and a touch of smoky oak. It has a full-bodied taste with a lengthy finish and firm tannins that ensure its excellent aging potential. Overall it's an exceptional wine that will delight fans of California Zinfandel.
