Black Sears Zinfandel 2016 is a vibrant and expressive wine from Napa Valley’s Black Sears Winery, sourced from their Howell Mountain estate. The 2016 vintage offers a bouquet of blackberry, raspberry, and plum, with layers of spice, pepper, and toasted oak. The palate is full-bodied and balanced, with soft tannins and bright acidity that highlight the concentrated fruit. Subtle notes of cocoa, leather, and earthy minerality add complexity, while the finish is long and refined, with a touch of spice. Black Sears’ meticulous winemaking, including hand-harvesting and French oak aging, ensures a wine of precision and elegance. Perfect for pairing with barbecued ribs or hearty pasta dishes, this Zinfandel is a collector’s gem, reflecting the unique terroir of Howell Mountain and offering a sophisticated drinking experience.
