Fox Creek Vineyard Zinfandel
Shenandoah Valley, Sierra Foothills, California, USA
This is a very enjoyable Zinfandel from Sierra Foothills in California.
Showing black fruits with wood, earth, vanilla, light vegetables, dark coffee, herbs, tobacco leaf, spices and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body and smooth. Easy drinking with nice complexity. Spicy finish with soft tannins.
Good right out of the bottle and better as it opens up.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
I had this vintage a few months ago, and it is already drinking better.
Aged for 19 months in French and American oak barrels.
14.2% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$28.

This is a nice Zinfandel from the Sierra Foothills in California. Drinking nicely now and showing nice complexity with a great nose. Spicy and tangy on the mid palate.
Good by itself or with food. A good quality wine with a soft mouthfeel.
Needs 2 hours to open up properly as it is too acidic right out of the bottle, so be patient.
Will age nicely in the next 3 to 5 years.
A good sipping wine to have all by itself.
I paired it with a cheese plate and crackers.
