I loved this elegant Zinfandel (I can’t remember the last time I described a Central Coast Zinfandel as elegant) at first sip. An amazing blend of red and black berries with notes of briary boysenberry, it’s a wine that’s exemplary on its own or a great choice for the table. Pair it with a great steak, roast chicken, or a very special pizza and you can’t go wrong. Just coming into the marketplace, it’s available at the tasting room in Edna Valley for just $30. Zin this good won’t last long in the tasting room or the market.
