In honor of Uncle Tom Westberg and his love of Zin. In this vintage the Zin was co-fermented with the Tempranillo and aged for 22 months in 60% new French Oak. Our Zin comes from 4hearts Vineyard located in the heart of the Willow Creek District. It’s full in body and compliments foods such as grilled sausage, lamb burgers, or bone in pork chops.
This blend is ruby in color with a fresh nose consisting of basil, toasted oak, and spice. Silky on the pallet with fresh intricate red fruit and white pepper with a meaty and savory back pallet finish.

"The Zinfandel-dominated 2017 Westberg Red (which includes 24% Tempranillo) is another saturated purple-colored effort from winemaker Don Burns that offers an earthy, meaty bouquet of black fruits, plums, Asian spices, flowers incense, and blood orange. It's ripe, sexy, rounded, and just a beautiful drink. I’d be thrilled to have bottles in the cellar."

"A blend of 76% Zinfandel and 24% Tempranillo aged 22 months in 60% new oak, the medium ruby-purple colored 2017 Westberg Red is scented of cranberry, sour cherries, sliced peaches, purple flowers, earth and charcuterie, blossoming with time to loads of bright, high-toned nuances. Medium to full-bodied, it explodes with perfumed flavor layers, gently framed but über juicy, finishing long and loaded with flavor."
