this is one of those zinfandels that needs food. on its own, it's a rustic wine, sweet in red jam and raisins, tannic, acidic and fairly oaky. it has considerable complexity, coming from a century-old vineyard that contains at least a dozen grape varieties barely grown anymore in california. will be excellent with any form of beef stew, short ribs, mexican beef-centered food, or a lusty lasagna.
