This full-bodied Californian Zinfandel features enticing aromas of sweet purple plums and blueberries and coffee mocha toast from oak aging. It's succulent, smooth, lip-smacking delicious and full-bodied. Lots of juicy black raspberry on the finish. Pair with meat lovers' pizza.

Zinfandel food pairings: aged cheddar, grilled lamb loin, grilled duck breast, Italian sausage burgers.

Reviews and Ratings

This big Californian red wine is produced by a winery that practises aggressive canopy management, trimming back the leaves and vegetation on the vines so that more nutrients go to the grapes, which in turn become more concentrated in flavour. This is a terrific wine for movie night, especially if you're having pepperoni pizza. Finishes with black plums and dark spice. What better robust red wine for barbecued and grilled meats? Good value too. Zinfandel is one of the flagship red wines of California, even though it also has its roots in Europe. The Hope family owns and operates this Paso Robles winery, Liberty School. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
