This is a great fortified dessert wine.
Jokes aside, the fruit is very pure, the extraction surprisingly gentle. But the alcohol and RS are… something else. What occasion is this for?

Oh my wow! This is what I thought wine was supposed to be. Fruity, but with silky balance.

The 2019 Zinfandel Giuseppe & Luisa shows all of the intensity of the Martinelli wines, but with an extra kick of floral overtones and acid brightness to perk things up. Cinnamon, crushed red berry, wild flowers, mint and blood orange all run through this expressive, silky Zinfandel. The blend of Jackass Hill and Jackass Vineyard Zinfandel clones on four different rootstocks, which results in different ripening cycles and harvest times, all of which translates into notable complexity in the finished wine.

I now understand what the reviewer meant by the dessert wine comment. Way to big for me. This wine assaults your senses with lots of hot dark berry flavors. If you like them super explosive this is for you

Overly sweet, like grape jam, with very high (16.3%) alcohol content.
