ZINFANDEL
Westside
Paso Zinfandel Label

The Paso Robles Zinfandel is produced from grapes grown on our Cristalla vineyard on the west side of Paso Robles.   For optimum grape quality, we planted the vines 3 feet by 6 feet, and maintain low picking yields of under 2 tons per acre.   This is a big bodied, jammy red Zinfandel with soft tannins and a round finish.   It was barrel-aged in French and American oak for months for the perfect balance of toast and vanilla. Enjoy our Paso Robles Zinfandel with pronounced flavors of wild blackberry, raspberry, and chocolate.
