Wine Review: This slightly opaque and very dark ruby colored Zinfandel opens with a gentle black currant bouquet with a hint of black cherry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, slightly acidic and smooth. The flavor profile is a tasty plum with notes black currant and faint oak. The finish is dry and its flavors and gentle acidity lingers for a bit. This wine would pair well with veal marsala. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Spicy, lush black fruit of Alexander Valley. Briary and raspberry flavors, along with structure, of cooler Dry Creek Valley. Balanced and elegantly structured. Pair with red sauces, pizza, barbecue, spicy cuisine and a variety of meats.
