Tasting Notes:

This Zinfandel exhibits a brilliant dark brick red color with an intense violet tinge. This Zinfandel has the classic spice and succulence associated with the variety. Soft and integrated, this wine over delivers with an extremely rich and balanced mouth feel along with integrated tannins. Sourced from the same vineyard as the Shiraz and Barbera, these vines are grown at 4,000 feet elevation.

A grilled rack of lamb or a basic cheddar burger would marry well with the lively black pepper spice notes in the wine.
