Zinfandel has the reputation for being rich, plump, jammy and opulent to the extreme. All good things. But it can also be hotter than a day in the desert and boozier than a wedding. Both things this neatly avoids. If you like your wine full of full-fruited fun, accompanied by a good lick of American oak, but prefer it to not make your tequila look like a soda, this is just the ticket. Velvety cherries and berries, oak tannin and aroma, supple and satisfying.
