Wine Review: This garnet-colored Pinot Noir from Marietta opens with cranberry and pomegranate bouquet with hints of black pepper and red raspberry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, fresh and lively. The flavor profile is a craisin and dried strawberry blend with notes of red raspberry tea. I also detected hints of pomegranate and spice. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and managed mild tannins drift away nicely. I would pair this old school Zinny-Zin with grilled salmon burger. Enjoy – Ken
Winemaker Notes: The 2022 Roman Zinfandel is generous, open, and evocative. Bright stone fruit and spice-box jump from the glass. With a juicy, clean, uplifted mouth this wine is a refreshing joy to drink. Not your typical heavy, dense Zin, this has a light touch that belies the complexity within. Enjoy with salmon, roast chicken or lightly chilled with something rich and spicy!
