Ancient Peaks Zinfandel

Ancient Peaks and Margarita Vineyard are owned by three longtime local winegrowing families—the Filipponis, Rossis and Wittstroms—who are actively involved in the daily operations of the vineyard and winery. Ancient Peaks wines are crafted under the guidance of Mike Sinor, a local winemaking veteran and one of the highest-rated winemakers on the Central Coast.

The 2022 Zinfandel offers a nose of mixed berry fruits with hints of caramel and black pepper spices. The mouthfeel is supple, jammy and expansive with flavors of raspberry, cherry, plum and vanilla, with trailing notes of toasted oak and leather adding depth to the wine’s luscious fruit-forward character. Juicy acidity lingers on the finish with an appealing dash of spice.
