This vintage is slightly different in composition from that of the prior, but still retaining the formula; essentially this is a SuperTuscan with Zinfandel rather than Sangiovese as the “base varietal”. As such, it has CX a splash of residual sugar paired with a rich, gravelly mouthfeel. It is a decent enough cocktail wine, but I sense that it would really shine paired with spicy Asian cuisine.
