Mission Briefing
Chasing the dream
Today’s S.E. Chase Family Cellars 2009 Napa Valley Zinfandel is a delicious wine in one oh-so-elegant package.
A beautiful dark red in the glass, today’s wine features layer upon layer of sweet berries, softly tilled summer earth, and toasted dark baking spices. We couldn’t get enough of today’s wine, with more than one member of our tasting panel asking for a second glass.
If you love Zin as much as we do, run, don’t walk, to pick up a case or two of today’s standout wine. At over 40% off, it’s not likely to last the day!
Tasting Profile
| Look: | A dark strawberry red, reminiscent of a ripe strawberry dipped in chocolate. |
|---|---|
| Smell: | A delightfully aromatic nose, with plenty of sweet berry fruit laid against notes of dark baking spices, fresh cedar wood, toasty black peppercorn, and echoes of a fresh summer berry bramble. |
| Taste: | Well balanced and downright elegant, this Zin is one to savor. Mulberry and sweet raspberry greet you initially, with hints of chocolate, espresso bean, warm baking spices, fresh cedar wood shavings, and sweet vanilla bean rounding out the flavor profile. |
| Finish: | Incredibly smooth and refined, this is one knockout wine. The finish lingers with you, just long enough to last to your next sip. |
| Pairing: | Grilled lamb chops, dry rubbed with a Mediterranean blend of rosemary, garlic, and oregano. |
