Wine Review: This ruby colored Zinfandel from Edmeades is a real fruit bomb. It opens with a fragrant black raspberry and red cherry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, rich, balanced and very fruit forward. The flavor profile is a tasty blackberry jam with notes of blueberry and mild oak. I also detected a hint of cherry-cola and touch of minerality. The finish is dry and its moderate tannins and fruit flavors are nicely prolonged. This yummy Zin would pair well with Theresa’s homemade meatloaf. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Aromas of fresh blackberries, black currants, cedar, and spicy forest hardwoods blend together in the glass. On the palate, blackberry liqueur and plum flavors are complimented by a slightly smoky and meaty character. The wine has ripe, soft tannins, and a mouthwatering acidity.
