Tasting Notes This Zinfandel has a ruby color with a purple hue. The 2012 vintage is packed with aromas of sun ripened cherries, blackberry, and nutmeg. Chauvet Zin has a flavor profile all its own with flavors of bright cherry, cranberry, and lingonberry jam. The pH levels tend to be higher, which means acids are lower. As a result, Chauvet Zin is rich and round, with a silky tannic structure and a lingering finish. 100% Zinfandel
