Wine Review: In our blind tasting of Zinfandels, this wine stood out as a good option for a restaurant to consider on the affordable end of their glass pour program. This bright ruby colored wine opens with a light cherry vanilla like bouquet. One the palate, this medium bodied wine is round, tasty, easy drinking, and displays light blackberry flavors with a hint of blueberries. The finish is slightly dry, easy going, and brief. This food friendly wine would a nice glass pour to pair with burgers and ribs. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Deep garnet, crimson hue. Hints of dark berries, red plum, cocoa bean, nutmeg, and vanilla fill the nose. Ripe boysenberry and black cherry are accented by notes of dark chocolate and cinnamon. Soft hints of creamy vanilla accompany the lingering finish.

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