The richness and weight of Bella’s Maple Vineyards Zinfandel is impressive considering the ripeness and alcohol by volume (less than 15 percent) are modest by modern Zin standards. This vintage exhibits complex layers of red and black fruit, with that much-sought-after "brambly" quality found in many top Zins. It’s spicy, smooth and well balanced, with structure that is firm rather than fat, making it that slightly rare Zin that is versatile with an array of culinary styles. Serve it with roast chicken or grilled leg of lamb and enjoy.
