Highlands Howell Mountain Black-Sears Zinfandel 2001
Region: Howell Mountain, California
Winery: Highlands
Variety: Zinfandel
Rating:
Named after owners Joyce Black and Jerre Sears, this vineyard supplies Highlands Winery, Elyse Winery, Turley Cellars, and dCubed with some of the most outstanding Zinfandel fruit in the Napa Valley. With a distinguished profile redolent of blackberries and black pepper, Black-Sears’ signature is often easy to spot at blind tastings. Full-bodied yet dignified, this wine is typical of the high altitude Howell Mountain appellation.
