Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Zinfandel opens with a black cherry bouquet with a hint of oak and bay leaf. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, easy to drink and approachable. The flavor profile is a tasty mineral infused black plum with hints of rhubarb and black pepper. The finish is dry and is flavors linger nicely. This crowd pleasing Zin is food friendly and versatile. The panel suggested pairing it with filet mignon or lamb kabobs. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: The 2012 Teldeschi Vineyard Zinfandel is a lively wine exhibiting blue fruits and seductive spices. The weight and texture are nothing short of extraordinary. The finish is lengthy and pleasant.
