For under $15, this little zinfandel is a delicious red wine! Spanish cedar and tobacco nose, medium acidity and body, and racy dark cherries, vanilla, raspberry, light brown baking spices, and a very smooth finish. I'm not usually a zinfandel fan, but it is an art piece of sweet fruits, tannin integration, and ample, yet conservative acidity making it both a great dinner wine, or one to enjoy by itself on a Monday evening.
I did pair this with a recipe of mine:
Wild hog chops, seasoned in rosemary, garlic, lemon, pepper, salt, drizzled with a sauce of zinfandel red wine reduction, mushrooms, red onion, garlic, and baked yukon gold potatoes as a side.
Perfect pairing for a slightly gamey meat. — 10 years ago
Really enjoyed this with smoked duck breast and aged basaltic coffee reduction. Roasted Yukon gold potatoes added to the earthy fruit combination. A really nice combination. Very enjoyable. Go Mike. — 12 years ago
Experimenting with Islay, love the peat, especially as this one mellowed with the sherry cask. Bought it because Trevanian's hero in his book Eiger Sanction drank a lot of it and a skit have club member in Dawson, Yukon did so as well. — 10 years ago
This was great with a prime rib roast off the grill with Yorkies and smashed Yukon Golds. Preferred this not aerated. The aeration took away some of the body. — 11 years ago
We christened our boat, the "Yukon Jack," with this delicious bottle! Hints of raisin and grass. Good. — 13 years ago

Bold aroma, silky feel, deep rich flavor. So good and never took the back seat with dinner of moose steak, King Boletes, roast Yukon gold and magic molly potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and radishes....all from our garden, tundra, and woods. — 10 years ago
