Winemaker Review: Grown in vineyards that are over 45 years old, this medium-bodied Zin has exceptional varietal character with lovely aromas of dark fruit and blackberries. Subtle pepper spice mingles with richly concentrated fruit flavors or blackberry, ripe plums and fresh red raspberries. Barrel aging created its smooth, silky finish and unprecedented depth. A wonderful wine pairing for a variety of dishes. Any type of meat - whether its pork, beef or game - is ideal with this wine. Cioppino is another amazing complement, or try it with tomato-based pastas, hearty stews or a plate of strong, aged cheeses.
My Review: I haven't had many zinfandels but this one made me more interested. It had a strong, unique flavor that featured dark fruits, but seemed to have hints of lighter ones as well. As the review suggests, I think this wine would be great to try with a bunch of different cheeses.
