Green & Red Vineyard Tip Top Vineyard Zinfandel, Napa Valley, USA 2017 Smaragd Deep purple-black in colorThis wine comes from our uppermost mountain vineyard grown at an elevation of 2000 feet. Sobrante loam soils packed with red chert support the beautifully terraced rows, with both head trained and cordon trained vines wrapping around the face of the mountain. Cranberry compote and sarsaparilla combine with the signature Tip Top aroma of dark cherries and dusty red earth. Anise and cola linger alongside sweet holiday baking spices.
