Wine Review: This pitch black colored Zinfandel opens with a blackberry bouquet with a hint of blueberry and oak. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, juicy and a fruit forward. The flavor is a black raspberry and blackberry blend with notes of stewed plum and oak with a hint of black pepper. The finish is dry and its flavors and moderate tannins are nicely controlled. This Zin would pair well with a zesty pulled pork sandwich. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Plum, raspberry jam and blackberry flavors are supported with solid chalky tannins in this Zinfandel. Sultry cedar and spice accents linger on this captivating, long-finishing wine.
