Product Description

Taste The Dry Creek appellation is nearly synonymous with Zinfandel and renowned for yielding the classic brambly, berry-like character and spice that define California's heritage grape. Jammy, rich and ripe, it's deliciously true to its origins with a core of blackberry jam and briar interwoven with flavors of cherry pie and vanilla. Dark jammy fruit and nutmeg frame a lingering, buttery finish. Serve Distinct in style and taste, this fruit-forward Zinfandel makes an impressive host or hostess gift when your friends invite you to dinner. Smooth and jammy on on the palate, it is a perfect complement to dishes like slow-roasted leg of lamb, braised beef short ribs and Cioppino.
