Wine Review: This slight opaque and dark ruby colored Zinfandel is very good and will appeal to traditional Zin fans. It opens with a blackberry bouquet with a hint of boysenberry jam and black licorice. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, very juicy and fruit forward. The flavor profile is an oak infused blackberry with notes of black raspberry. I also detected some minerality, cola and plum. The finish is dry and its fruit flavors last for quite some time. I would pair this wine with barbecue bourbon steak tips. Enjoy - Ken
