My wife's favorite! This is a very Zinlike Zinfandel. It's big and fruity with jammy strawberries and rich plum. We paired this with tacos, but I would love this with BBQ bacon cheeseburgers.

Dear Pork Ribs: meet me in Lake County on a mountainside, about 2k feet up. I will be there waiting for you with all the anticipation of a thirsty palate meeting a mysterious pomegranate tea spiked with sassafras, kirsch and plum and holding a bouquet of minerals and flowers. Your medium-plus body will only heighten my anticipation. It will be amazing, and we will live happily ever after, xox.

So every time I went to the cellar I grabbed one of these. And when they were gone I was a little sad. If you like Zin, you’ll like this.

A solid, drinking red, though not a great example of a Zin. We enjoyed it well enough to buy four bottles at Rutherford.
