This elegant new release exudes mild tobacco, leather and dried raspberries on the nose with mulled spices, bright plum and white pepper on the palate.
Suggested Food Pairing
Our Zinfandel is beautiful paired with grilled steak, roasted lamb, hamburgers and roasted venison. A fruit based sauce or marinade are delicious as well and don't forget Indian cuisine and Mexican foods. Finally, drizzle Dry Creek Co. olive oils over moist brownies with sea salt and serve with this Zinfandel for dessert
