Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Blend of 81% Zinfandel and 19% Petite Sirah, deep Ruby, almost purple color, with aromas of dark fruits, spice, floral and earthy notes. On the palate flavors of tangy plum and cherry with toasty spice, pepper and floral notes wrapped in lively acidity. Fine warming tannins, medium+ finish, good structure ending with fruit, spice and cigar box tones. Good value! Pair this with Chops or a NY Strip Steak with a wine reduction sauce.

The bold flavor is what hits you right away, but the smooth finish is what takes your breath away.

Fairly ubiquitous Zin & fairly consistent thru vintage although this was either too young & tight or weak vintage. It had all the components but it just wasn’t firing on all cylinders.
