Mission Codename The Return of the (Pezzi) King
Agent Red had to fight (beg) to get his hands on today’s Pezzi King Vineyards 2011 Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel. The winery has been hanging tight to their inventories, making most of their wines available to their wine club (if you’re not a member, you should really join!). Agent Red was able to secure a small allocation of today’s wine and we offer it to you with our heartiest recommendation.
This delicious wine is fairly light-weight up front, but it gradually gains weight and complexity, gently digging in all across the palate as plush tannins help to coat the palate with dark fruit flavors.
Enjoy this Zin with a very wide variety of food pairings. Enjoy with your favorite savory winter dishes - but be sure to hold on to some for your summertime cookouts.
This young wine is ready to drink and will continue to improve over the next couple of years. Decant for optimal results and you’ll be rewarded with a softer and more fruit-forward experience.
