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 wines can range from off-dry Rosés, White Zinfandels, and light bistro styled wines, to big, rich powerful wines - even luscious wines for dessert bottling. The flavors range from plummy to raspberry, although deep blackberry fruit and brambly spice tones are most common.

Great Spicy and Peppery taste. Perfect complement to a piece of smoked or barbecued meat. I was Very impressed with this bottle.

On a side note, the bottle had a 15.6% alcohol volume amount, which makes me curious how they accomplished that.

Just a note - it is a very common trait to find in Zinfandel that it contains a higher than "normal" alcohol content. A grape that is often harvested at a high sugar content, once fermented to a dry style, yields a higher alcohol percentage. Anymore it is almost a standard for Zin.

An equally strong wine to the Napa Valley Zin, it was interesting to pair the two Zinfandels back-to-back. There are definite notes of clove on the nose, and while the Sierra Hills was not as fruity as the Napa Valley Zin, it was still smooth, rich and complex. This would be a great wine for pairing with grilled steak and peppers.
