Wine Review: If you like a big fruit bomb Zinfandel, this one is for you. This dark red wine is a big berry explosion on the nose. On the palate, this wine is a luscious berry jam flavored wine. This wine is intense, quite tasty, and nicely balanced. The finish is refreshing. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: If you are one of those who believe bigger is better, read on. Appropriately named for its bountiful bouquet of fruit as well as where the grapes are grown, this full-bodied Zinfandel has plenty of ripe black cherry, plum and spice and is framed by soft t annins and balanced acidity. Zinfandel isn't known as California's sweetheart red for nothing.

Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Zinfandel.
