Lost in translation
No, sir, this is Main Street Wine and Spirits. You can’t buy spices here, nor do can you buy aromas of spices like cinnamon, allspice, and anise. You won’t find any stationary here, either, especially not colored stationary that is flavored, like these brighter fruit notes that you’re speaking of. And you’ll have to go to a grocery looking to taste ripe plum, strawberry preserves, raspberry, and cherry cola.
Sir! Please! Keep your voice down! There is no acid for sale here, or “good acidity” or whatever you said. We are an upright, aboveboard, local establishment. However, I can offer you something if you’re looking for light to moderate tannin'. There are three booths with different settings in the back, so you can get that exact skin tone that you’re looking for.
Oh, you’re looking for the 2006 Dono dal Cielo Zinfandel! That makes more sense! I’d be happy to help you… if I actually worked here.

The 2006 Dono dal Cielo Zinfandel is a classic Zinfandel, reminiscent of the great Zinfandels of the late 70’s and 80’s. They picked 24 tons of Zinfandel for this 2006 harvest, by hand, and processed it in 3 separate batches. After three days of cold soaking we had a spontaneous fermentation which truly shows off the Dono dal Cielo flavor. This wine was aged in 40% new American Oak barrels and the rest was kept in 2-3 year old barrels. Minimal intervention is why we love this wine….very elegant and fun. Not your typical heavy, high alcohol, over-extracted Zinfandel, it highlights brighter fruit notes with aromas and flavors of cinnamon, allspice and anise. Fruit component is ripe plum, strawberry preserves, raspberry and cherry cola. Good acidity and balance with light to moderate tannin.
