2010 Zinfandel ~ Heritage Vines
Alegria Vineyards Russian River Valley
$45
This Russian River Valley Zinfandel is a field blend of 80% Zinfandel, 11% Petite Sirah, and 7% Alicante Bouschet. The remaining 2% of the field blend includes Carignane, Trousseau, Sangiovese, Petit Bouschet, Negrette, Syrah, Plavac Mali, Tannat, Muscat Noir, Peloursin, Béclan, Cinsaut, and Grenache.
Tasting Notes:  Richly concentrated blackberry and mocha aromas with just a kiss of black pepper burst onto your senses. The spicy, jammy flavors mirror the intensity found in the aroma. Vanillin oak and hints of coffee and anise thread through the lush, juicy mixed berry blend. The flavors deepen, becoming even more concentrated as they fill the palate with their delicious essence.

A lovely balance of fruit, oak, and tannins cradles this spicy yet creamy textured Zin, which concludes with a lingering, full finish. Enjoy with braised short ribs, smoked chicken tossed with grilled veggies and pasta, or a classic margherita pizza.
