What to Expect

Zinfandel is considered America's own great indigenous grape, even though its origins lie on the Adriatic coast. Planted throughout California and the Pacific Northwest, Zinfandel is at its best in warm regions with cooler temperatures during harvest.

The flavors range from plummy to raspberry, although deep blackberry fruit and brambly spice tones are most common.
