Long finish

to the roots that produce its world-renowned grapes

The 2023 Pagani Ranch Zinfandel reflects the cooler vintage with striking energy

with great structure and roundness

Delicate pear on the nose with crunchy yellow apple and whiffs of citrus peel and mandarin oranges

with a juicy core of apple

dried autumn leaf

The objective is perfectly ripe fruit in loose bunches

a charmer with a lot of fruit on the palate

Pairs best with fried fish

we all concur that this is our staff’s universal favorite

is a classic expression of this grape variety
