Description Carnivor Zinfandel is juicy, bold, big and flavourful, featuring hints of spices with a smooth touch for a complete palette. Intense dark fruit flavours of blackberry, plum and boysenberry are matched with notes of mocha, dark chocolate, black pepper and baking spice. Flavours of vanilla and toasted almond linger with a long, smooth finish.
Vinification Following a brief cold soak to encourage extraction of colour and tannin from the fruit, the must was fermented between temperatures of 88-90°F. The wine was then aged on French and American oak until the tannins were softened and the wine structure was balanced. We blended Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to enhance the wine's colour and structure, and Merlot to give this wine a soft mouthfeel.
