Kirk Venge knows how to produce bold, showstopping wines, and Signal Fire comes from gnarly, 70- to 120-year-old vines in Calistoga. Packed with roasted raspberry, blueberry compote, crushed wildflowers, and cracked black pepper, this Zinfandel explodes on the palate with generous fruit and juicy acidity. It offers that classic, hearty Napa Valley warmth with wonderful balance.
This robust and concentrated Zinfandel delivers punchy aromas of roasted raspberries, cherry liqueur, cinnamon, and licorice on the nose. The palate is neatly balanced, with zesty acid, supple tannin, and flavors of Bing cherry culis, blueberry gastrique, fresh cut wildflowers, and black pepper lingering at the finish.
