Zinfandel, Petite Sirah
Country:
America
Region:
North Coast
Type:
Red blend
Why We Carry It:
Zinfandel doesn’t have to just be a super-rich, jammy fruit-bomb. It can also be complex, savory, and nuanced while still bold and intense. This classic example has notes of blackberry, plum, licorice, and dried sage. For anyone who wants a full-bodied intense red wine, but not the powerful tannins of a Cabernet, this is the perfect choice.
Food/Occasion:

Dry Creek, Sonoma
A truly stunning wine, this will pair well with anything from a turkey dinner up to a rich beef stew.
