Description

Wine is produced from grapes of vines over 45, matures in French oak and represents a long tradition of elegance and consistency in the wine type, easily exaggerated. For Zinfandel, this is only medium-bodied and the alcohol content remains moderate 14, 5% level. Add nuance Shiraz and Petite Sirah, , both of which are in the top five percent. This wine would be great for an ambiance by the fireplace, but at its best it is a food wine.
