If pleasure and beauty could be offered by wine, it would be served by Michael Lavelle. Aged in French oak barrels, this old vine, limited edition offering will arrest the senses with aromatic bliss and fill the glass with notes of fresh blackberries, dark cherries, vanilla and hints of cocoa. The Iris Zinfandel is intentionally mysterious and cerebral. You can’t quite pin down what's happening, but you want it to keep happening.
