The 2009 vintage was a blockbuster vintage for us, with our tonnage coming in much higher than our year-to-year average. That is to say, this vintage was "abundant," which got us thinking about the meaning of abundance (after the grapes our in we have lots of time to think of these things). The Lamborn's abundance is found in the beautiful valley known as Napa, a place where wine grapes are abundant and spectacular. We are abundantly blessed, and hope that by sharing this Zinfandel with you, our sense of abundance becomes yours.

Tasting notes from Winemaker Heidi Barrett: "Deep black raspberry in color with wide open aromas of wonderful Howell Mountain ripe fruit. The nose is loaded with jammy raspberry, spice, black pepper, currants, and hints of toast and vanilla. The flavors are very consistent with the aromas, and the impression on the palate is one of richness, ripe fruit, and an overall silky mouth feel. The structure is big, but not tannic or aggressive, and the finish has a bit of warmth and good length. This is an easy to drink, easy to love Zin!”
