A full-bodied wine with a firm core of fresh raspberry and cranberry fruit intertwined with peppery spice. Soft tannins and moderate acidity balance the robust fruit and cedar spice in this culinary wine.
The grapes used for the Zinfandel come from cooler districts in Paso Robles. The cooler night temperatures allow the grapes to ripen slowly, resulting in density and complexity. The wine is aged for 14 months in a mix of Eastern European and American oak.
Enjoy with a juicy steak, grilled portabella, spicy cheese, or decadent chocolate desserts.
