This wine in the glass has a beautiful burgundy color. The initial whiff of this seductive wine produces aromas of candied blackberries, ripe strawberries, plum sauce, dark berry medley with a hint of orange blossom honey. On the palate, you swirl this rich dark wine around in your mouth and the initial sensation is that of luscious, juicy, freshly-picked ripe blackberries and blueberry compote. The second sip explodes with sweet ripe strawberries, dark berry medley, a hint of chocolate and a mildly spicy oaky finish with moderate tannins and juicy acidity. This rich, mouth filling Old Vine Zinfandel will pair with ALL foods, from that gourmet burger on the grill, to a nut-crusted seared rare ahi. Our favorite is a tomato sauce pasta with Italian sausage sautéed in green & red banana peppers, onion and fresh garlic.
