Steele Zinfandel Cuvee Zinfandel

Steele Wines purchased this vineyard in Mendocino County from the Pacini family in 1998, but it was originally planted in 1940. While they have replaced some of the vines, many of the old vines still remain. They are dry-farmed due to their location and result in intensely flavoured wines. The ripe bramble fruit is accompanied by spice, cocoa and vanilla, bolstered by American oak. While it is full-bodied, the tannins are smooth and ripe.

Since then, Australia has opened the doors for marriage and Heartland now is donating to the same-sex marriage fight in Vietnam.
