Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Purple in color with medium intensity.
Fruity nose of blueberries, sweet raspberries, cherries, red plums, spices and black pepper.

This 3-year-old Zinfandel from Dry Creek Valley is starting to drink nicely, although still young.
Nicely balanced and fruit forward. Showing mild complexity with a soft mouth feel.
Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine. Tangy, bright and interesting.
Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years, and see how it evolved.
I had it all by itself and paired it with a beautiful sunny day.
