Mission Briefing
The right Zin at the right time
Today’s Bradford Mountain Winery 2012 Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel is everything one could hope for when diving into a Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel.
With a luscious fruit-forward palate, today’s wine hits all the right notes with true Zin lovers. The wine is notable for its elegant entry and supple mouthfeel. Simply put, a wine under $20 doesn’t usually deliver such a silken drinking experience.
Enjoy with a spice rubbed roasted chicken or grilled… anything. Cheers!
Tasting Profile
| Look: | Bright ruby red, with glints of a darker purple heart. |
|---|---|
| Smell: | An elegant, fruit driven nose, highlighted by clear aromas of black raspberry, blackberry, and mulberry. These are joined by hints of tobacco leaf, black peppercorn, violet, and herbal black tea. |
| Taste: | Delicious, with flavors reminiscent of what you experience on the nose. Elegantly fruit forward dark berries are paired with subtle hints of soft summer earth and spice. The fruit flavors are concentrated but not overpowering, with the notes of earth and spice providing a subtle counterbalance to the sweet fruit. |
| Finish: | A scrumptious wine that finds a nice balance between sweet, perfectly ripened fruit and soft, subtle structure. |
| Pairing: | A perfect wine to pair with a meal prepared on the grill. We suggest grilled pork tenderloin, finished with a tangy homemade sauce. |
