Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Zinfandel from the Teldeschi Vineyard "Frank's Block" opens with a cinnamon and red raspberry blend with hints of black cherry, cedar, and rose petal. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, very smooth and structured. The flavor profile is a very tasty black plum and graphite blend with notes of red raspberry, black cherry, and cedar. We also detected hints of cola and cinnamon. The finish is dry, and its fruit flavors and moderate tannins linger and last for quite some time. The Tasting Panel would pair this Zin with grilled hanger steak or with braised lamb meatballs. Enjoy – KWGTP
