Packing in a lot of structure and personality, this Zin delivers vibrant black cherry, smoky garrigue and green peppercorn flavors that build toward broad-shouldered tannins.
Zinfandel is a type of black-skinned grape that is typically used for making wines. The grapes are known for their high sugar content, which is useful for making wines with an alcohol percentage of more than 15%. The Zinfandel, also known as Primitivo, grows best in a warm but not too hot climate. Its taste varies, depending on the ripeness of the grapes. It pairs beautifully with barbeque, spicy foods, smoked cheeses and tangy flavors, but is also easy to enjoy on its own. Zinfandel Day was created in the United Kingdom to give recognition to this exquisite variety
of grapes.
