Eos 2008 Reserve Zinfandel
Winemaker Comments:
Largely based on fruit from older vineyards (Wild Rose – early 1960’s, French Camp – early 1970’s,) as well as some which are just reaching full maturity. Balanced cropping, careful sun-light exposure, and selective harvesting were employed in the pursuit of fully ripe, but not dried-out fruit characters. Careful handling in the winery, with attention to detail in the maceration, moderate fermentation temperatures, and a selection of subtle French oak barrels for the 15 months in cask.| Varietal Composition: | |

Complex aromatics – cocoa and ripe cherries with a cigar-box cedar character. Balanced acidity and vibrant fruit, with gravelly young tannins and some fresh oak tones. A bright, delicate style with elegance. Youthful at the moment, but will open nicely with decanting or a few years in cellar.
