Lot 683 Sierra Foothills Zinfandel
Sierra Foothills, California, USA
This wine is an excellent example of great Sierra Foothills Zinfandel. Zinfandel wine flirts with being my favorite, if only more of them were as good as this. Big red fruit on the nose is met by a full rack of herbs and spices - white pepper, sage, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg and more. It’s a Christmas cookie in a wine bottle. The palate is a similar delight, with wonderful acidity and a long finish.
