Zinfandel food pairings: hamburgers, prime rib.

Reviews and Ratings

Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

This wine hits the mark for those who love juicy ripe red and blackberry aromatics with a campfire toasty essence. Loads of jammy berry. Accessible and value priced. Tasted Nov 2016.

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.
