Tasting Profile
| Look: | Deep, dark scarlet in the heart of the glass, with a pretty pink ring around the edge. |
|---|---|
| Smell: | Luscious aromas abound in this wine, with deep black cherry and blackberry framed against notes of fresh berry bramble, dried red currant, vanilla bean, dark roasted coffee bean, and a touch of gravelly minerality. |
| Taste: | Bold without being overbearing, this is stunner of a Zinfandel. Rich, concentrated notes of black cherry, mulberry, and subtle raspberry are the first flavors to present themselves. These are joined by smoky sandalwood, briar patch, mocha, black peppercorn, a touch of dried rose petal, and a final echo of soft caramel. |
| Finish: | Long and lasting, with a luxuriously silken mouthfeel, the finish features soft velvety tannins and juicy fruit flavors that linger and linger. |
| Pairing: | Herb encrusted pork chops, served with a dollop of balsamic-glazed sweet onions on top. |
