After a protracted surveillance, we have returned to Trentadue Winery! This time, we’ve returned with another of their fantastic La Storia Reserve wines, their coveted 2010 Zinfandel. This wine is dark, complex and delicious. It is also a very food-friendly wine, with plenty of acidity.

Aromatically, this wine reminds us of ancient vine Zinfandel from Amador. Rich, dark aromas deliver wonderful, dark fruit, spice and minerals. On the palate, the wine is complex, plush and full of character.

Miro Tcholakov, winemaker for Trentadue, is fondly referred to around Wine Spies HQ as “Agent KGB”. We have been fans of Miro for the last five years. He just keeps getting better and better at his craft.

With the Fall and Winter holidays approaching, we can’t help but recommend this elegant, approachable wine for your holiday entertaining. At over 25% off, we’ll be stocking up our own private stash.
