The 2017 Zinfandel Fanucchi-Wood Road Vineyard is a bigger, more structured wine and, like the other Zinfandels here, is a field blend aged 10 months in 50% new oak. Beautiful notes of red plums, blueberries, sandalwood, and candied orange all flow to a medium to full-bodied red that has notable purity of fruit, a supple, sexy texture, no hard edges, and a great finish. Enjoy it over the coming decade as well.

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color—WOW—the 2017 Zinfandel Fanucchi-Wood Road Vineyard has an impressive perfume of rose hip tea, dried lavender, candied violets and chocolate-covered cherries over a core of baked plums, blackberry preserves and warm blueberries plus hints of raspberry leaves, dried Provence herbs and tilled soil. Full-bodied, rich and decadently fruited, it has a firm, chewy texture and bold freshness, finishing long and earthy. 236 cases were made. - LPB
