Lapis Luna Zinfandel 2020

This unique take on Californian Zinfandel, topped up with Sangiovese, offers the raw power you’d expect from the US of A but also manages to retain a degree of subtlety. It opens up as you’d expect with a deep colour and lashings of blackberry, chocolate and plum jam which are lifted by violets and dried herbs. There is an initial decadence of mouth filling liquorice flavour before rustic tannins provide shape and backbone to a strong finish. Fans of big Barossan Shiraz will not be disappointed.
