Swirl, Sniff, Sip
Dark ruby color. Wonderfully bright, rich berry-pepper aromas show superb ripeness with balanced jammy notes. The flavors are rich, concentrated and laced with black pepper, licorice and blackberry notes. This vintage's texture is remarkably juicy, though balanced by ripe tannins and elegant acidity. Firm yet round, this is a classi_level2c Napa Valley Zinfandel.
Food Ideas: Expect it to be delicious served with rich firm cheeses like Dry Jack, flavorful pastas, especially those tomato-based, and savory BBQ.
