Here’s a big, bold, lip-smacking Zin from Napa Valley.
It shows ripe berry, cola, pepper, licorice and cocoa flavors, and is
full-bodied and drily tannic. Great with pizza, enchiladas or Swedish
meatballs. — S.H. (6/1/2008)

Winemaker’s Comments:
The medium plum colored Zin has leathery and floral spice,
yet folds nicely into a caramel mid palate.
From there flavors of medjool dates, slight clove and a blast of
concentrated raspberry which rounds out the palate and leaves you wanting more.
This wine would pair nicely with Peking Duck, Kung Pao
Chicken, Tandori Lamb or even Pad Thai. This Napa Zinfandel is rare due to the
dominance of Cabernet Sauvignon in the region, but we have secured some nice
wine from selected sources within Rutheford, Yountville, Oakville and Calistoga to make a truly unique
cuvee.
