Taste

The nose is heavy on blackberry, nutmeg, cinnamon and anise. The palate skews a little-more towards jammy raspberry, rich cherry, licorice and pepper. It doesn’t overwhelm with alcohol, maintaining a fair balance between fruit and acidity and with a medium finish. It’s a wine I’d buy again.

 

Pairing

Pair as you normally would with a heavier Californian red wine, just make sure you stay light on the spice, since the Haraszthy Zinfandel is packing 15.6% alcohol. BBQ, burgers on the grill, ribs, Moroccan style lamb, pork tenderloin, chicken cattiatore, ribeye, cedar plank salmon, and stronger cheeses.

 

Price

$16 – You can’t argue with that!
