Varietal: 100% Zinfandel
Region: SW Virginia

Shop Critic: Full-bodied with the peppery overtones that Zins are known for. Enjoy this spicy Red Zinfandel with beef or blue cheese!
My Review: The nose was lighter and fruitier than other Zinfandels I've tried. It was very spicy on my palate with lots of black pepper over raspberries. I really enjoyed this wine more than some of the other zinfandels they offered. 16.1% alcohol and you wouldn't even know. I think the spice really covered up the alcohol well.
I drank this wine on its own with no food pairings.
