The Napa Cellars Napa Valley Zinfandel 2012 is a red wine with incredible energy and fruit flavor. The nose leaps from the glass with aromas of fresh brambly fruit, burst cherry, red currant, and black tea. The palate is juicy and medium-bodied, with bright flavors and a nicely balanced acidity. Sun-ripened berries, dried cherries, and dark chocolate flood the mouth, encouraging another sip (and another).

The grapes for this red wine were selected by hand from premium Napa Valley locations, including Yountville, St. Helena, Oak Knoll, and Calistoga.
