Tasting Notes:
Enticing aromas of perfectly ripened wild blackberries, dried cherry, and spice mingle with enticing cacao-laced chestnuts and vanilla bean notes. The plush velvety entry of sweet cardamom, dark chocolate and blueberry lead to a robust mid-palate with black fig, hints of Habanero pepper, dark cacao, and delicious striations of oak-infused Santa Rosa plums. A firm structure balances beautifully with the succulent berry flavors, creating a wine that captures the beauty of Dry Creek Valley Zin and raises the bar celbrating the visionary behind the Mazzocco brand.
About:
Proprietor Ken Wilson lives life large and is the visionary who put all the right ingredients together to create Mazzocco. Ken loves the grandeur of a vineyard landscape, the intriguing scents of the cellar at harvest, and the joy of a delicious glass of Zinfandel delivers after a long day of living hard.
The Kenneth Carl Reserve Zinfandel reflects what Ken loves about Zins - bursting with personality, yet holding just a little back until you spend some time together, and then opening up so you can fully appreciate the experience.
