Winemaker Notes: Rattlesnake Zinfandel is a tribute to the crest called Rattlesnake Hill, the highest point of the Monte Rosso Vineyard. It's famous for the rattlesnakes living among the vines, seeking sunshine by day and coiling around the vines at night. This Zinfandel is bold and boisterous, with intense layers black cherry, raspberry, licorice and Sichuan pepper. Vanilla and graham cracker undertones linger on the long finish – this wine lives up to its name in every way, possessing a power that strikes with intense force.

A full-bodied red with red berry, orange peel and light chocolate character. Full and rich with lots of fruit and firm tannins to balance and frame the wine. Real zin character.
Wine Spectator

A gutsy red that retains a sense of finesse, with deeply structured blackberry, licorice and black pepper flavors that build toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2030.
