The 2024 Murder Ridge Potato Patch Zinfandel is a bold, cool-climate expression from Perli Vineyards in the Mendocino Ridge AVA. Crafted from heritage DuPratt and Zeni clone vines and co-fermented with a small amount of Viognier, it offers intense aromas of wild blackberry, black licorice, and warm oak spice. Rich flavors of blackberry and bittersweet chocolate are layered with notes of anise, vanilla, black plum, and orange zest, creating a beautifully complex and full-bodied wine.
Sourced from the steepest, hand-tended section of the Potato Patch block, this old-school Zinfandel delivers impressive depth with refined tannins and a long, satisfying finish. Its balance of power and elegance makes it an excellent companion to grilled meats, barbecue, and hearty seasonal dishes.
