This Zinfandel is made up of 90% Zinfandel; 10% Petite Sirah. Once fermented, the wine is aged in American oak barrels for 12 months. The touch of Petite Sirah adds the additional color, structure, and tannin to this Zinfandel.
From the Wine Maker – “Our Mother Clone Zinfandel is full-bodied and intense with classic Dry Creek Valley, aromas of ripe raspberry and warm spice with jammy fruit flavors framed by subtle black pepper. This is a concentrated wine that offers a great balance of fruit, spice and tannin combined with a long, lingering finish. Enjoy now or cellar for three to five years.”
Zinfandel wine is happiest when paired with anything from the meat aisle. From barbecue pork ribs, leg of lamb or a big, hearty meal.
