Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Zinfandel from Dry Creek Vineyard opens with an earthy blackberry and red cherry bouquet with hints of oak. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, and smooth. The flavor profile is a loganberry and cherry blend with notes of cinnamon and plum. We also detected hints of nutmeg, mocha, oak, and cola. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and fine mild tannins fade away nicely. We would pair this Zinfandel with a beef and Italian sweet sausage lasagna. Enjoy - KWGTP
Winemaker Notes: Our 2022 vintage opens with inviting aromatics of triple berry pie, cranberry sauce, and clove, followed by notes of espresso, cardamom, and white pepper. On the palate, layers of ripe blueberry and black cherry emerge with nuances of cocoa powder and baking spices, as well as hints of allspice, fine leather, and damp earth. The wine is full-bodied, with deep richness and impeccable balance alongside a lingering finish.
