Di Arie Break Away Zinfandel 2018

We have been making this wine since 2009. Previous vintages have received recognition for their elegance, good balance, soft tannins, sustained finish and richness in varietal character. We decided to name this wine Break Away as a symbol of these attributes and to distinguish it from other Zinfandels that are robust, jammy and heavy in alcohol and oak flavor.

This wine was made in our “Submerged Cap” Fermentation Tank and aged in predominantly French oak for 15 months. It is a fully extracted wine with strong varietal aromas of blackberries and black cherries, which carry into the mid-palate adding nuances of black pepper. The long finish also reveals coffee and chocolate flavors.
