Wine Review: This medium ruby colored Zinfandel opens with a gentle boysenberry bouquet with hints of vanilla and cola. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, juicy and smooth. The flavor profile is a mild red plum and gentle graphite blend with notes of black raspberry tea and anise. We also detected some hints of strawberry and cinnamon stick. The finish is dry and gentle dusty tannins drift away nicely. The Panel would pair this crowd-pleasing Zin with meatloaf, a bacon burger or even prime rib. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: With a bouquet of cedar, spice, and sun-ripened blackberries, our Sonoma Zinfandel makes a strong first impression. Bold and richly textured on the palate with an intensity and purity of fruit reflected in notes of wild blueberries, plum, and black currants. A light dusting of tannins provides structure and a long finish that is bouyed by fresh juicy acidity. This is a delightful wine to pair with red sauces, pizza, and soppressata.
