Wine Review: This dark garnet colored Zinfandel opens with a blackberry and plum bouquet with hints of star anise and nutmeg. On the palate, this wine is full bodied with plus acidity. The flavor profile is a juicy blackberry and strawberry jam blend with notes cinnamon and star anise. The finish is dry and its flavors, acidity and mild tannins drift away nicely. This Zin is ready to go and would pair well with takeout-style Chinese spare ribs. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: A rich, textured and inky-dark Zinfandel with an alluring juicy quality. Layered ripe fruits tones of plum, black cherry and blueberry tie together with black pepper, licorice and cocoa dust. The lasting finish adds spices and vanilla to frame the fruit.
