VINEYARD NOTES
Are you ready for a taste sensation that will transport you to the sun-kissed vineyards of the Southern Rhône Valley? Look no further than Zaca Mesa's 2017 Z Cuvée, a classic Rhône-style blend that has been delighting palates since 1992.
Crafted with care using 47% Mourvèdre, 42% Grenache, 9% Cinsault, and 2% Syrah, this wine has been aged for 16 months in neutral French oak, resulting in a perfectly balanced flavor profile. Blocks from Cushman, Chapel, Mariposa, Foxen E, and Mesa B vineyards contribute to the exquisite layers of flavor that make this wine so special.
The 2017 Z Cuvée is a delight for the senses, with a fragrant nose that calls to mind a fresh basket of Rainier cherries and a well-weathered cedar cigar box. On the palate, you'll experience the refreshing taste of dried goji berries, perfectly balanced by rounded tannins and a crisp acidity. And with a finish that is both taut and juicy, you'll find yourself reaching for another glass before you know it.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to savor the delicately balanced flavors of the Z Cuvée. Order now and experience the magic of this exceptional wine for yourself.

92 POINTS - "Age has mellowed this blend of grenache, syrah, mourvedre and cinsaut into a lush, burnished richness, layering scents of anise, black pepper, root beer and black cherry. Its flavors are generous but dusted with chaparral-scented tannins that gives the wine its grip and its frame." - Wine & Spirits
90 POINTS - "Tart red fruit and dark red flower aromas meet with an earthy funk on the nose of this blend of 47% Mourvèdre, 42% Grenache, 9% Cinsault and 2% Syrah. The palate is tarry and funky with savory cured meat flavors, as a dark berry element holds the core together." - Wine & Spirits

On the nose, the 2017 Z Cuvée is deliciously fragrant, reminiscent of a fresh basket of Rainier cherries and balanced by a secondary layer of a well-weathered cedar cigar box. Upon first sip, the front palate is immediately refreshed and invigorated with dried goji berry flavors. As the acidity splays across the front of the tongue, it is curbed by the maturation of the rounded tannins. The finish is curtailed and taut, though appropriately adorned with enough juicy berry to beckon you back to the glass.
