Tastes: This luscious yet elegant Zinfandel is made in classy complex style reminiscent of an elegant Napa Cabernet. It boasts an opaque purple color in addition to a sweet nose of black fruits, high quality new oak, minerals and flowers, outstanding concentration, impressive purity, medium to full body, and well-integrated acidity as well as tannins. Insider Scoop: The little airplane on the bottle is a Beechcraft Staggerwing, the first and in the Downing’s opinion, the most beautiful airplane ever produced by Beech. The airplane symbolizes a style and elegance that they have tried to capture in the Fly by Night Zinfandel. In the early 90s John and Tracy used to fly off for weekend getaways in their single engine Mooney airplane. That was, of course, before kids!
