The elegance of this Zinfandel is apparent from the first whiff into the long opulent finish. Plush aromas fill the nose with boysenberry preserves and blackberry compote wrapped in subtle spicy oak. A full, smooth entry showcases round rich flavors of cherry pie, vine-ripened Santa Rosa plum and a mix of dark berries. A backdrop of baking spices and oak notes adds to the charm of this well composed wine.
Sip this sophisticated Zin with a pairing of lamb skewers with pomegranate glaze, or veal chop cutlets Florentine.
