Exhibiting an amazing elegance and power — Block 6 is one of the later ripening sites on the Zena Crown Vineyard. Symbolizing spring bloom, Block 6 exhibits flavors of lavender, raspberry, tamarind, and braised duck breast with aromas of fennel root, shiso leaf and porcini mushroom. Finishing with a texture that has electric red fruit up front all the way to the end traveling like an AC current — back and forth across the palate.
