Zinfandel North Coast
United States, California
Alicante Bouschet, Barbera, Cinsault, Petite Sirah, Roussanne, Syrah (Shiraz), Touriga Nacional, Zinfandel
This wine is an absolutely classic expression of California Zinfandel. Immediately you are hit with the unmistakable aroma of a mixed berry pie, fresh red rose petals, toffee and a twinge of white pepper. The flavors and aromas here are equally precise and generous with moderate amounts of acid and tannin to hold everything together.
