TASTING NOTES
{Fruity, Bold}Fruit-forward and expansive with candied cherry, strawberry jam and wild blackberry balanced by notes of cinnamon and vanilla bean on a medium-bodied frame with a broad, refined texture and lingering finish. Pairs perfectly with roast chicken and mashed potatoes, or with a veggie lasagna.

Remember that time you traveled somewhere and enjoyed that adventure, that experience, that night with those friends? And even now, you hear a song, smell a smell, share a meal, meet up with those friends that were there and it transports you back to that place; to that night. Meet the Resident. A wine from here in the New World that takes you on a journey to the Old World. The grapes for this Zinfandel were handpicked from vines planted 20 years ago in McDowell Valley AVA, then crushed, destemmed and put into temperature-controlled stainless steel vessel to ferment for 14 days. The wine then aged in neutral French Oak barrels for 4-8 months before blending and bottling, unfined and unfiltered.
