Arista Winery
Banfield Vineyard Zinfandel
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
While Arista is one of my favorite Pinot producers, this was OK. Deep opaque purple. Lively black fruit. Definitely tannic. High acidity.

Gorgeous. Even better after another year on it. Jamminess has died down and it’s now a beautiful, more subtle zin.
