Made with organic grapes, this wine shows beautifully ripened fruit, almost no discernible oak influence, no overt alcohol, and quite restrained sweetness. By not over-reaching in terms or ripeness or extraction, the team at Bonterra has crafted a wonderfully drinkable Zin that will fulfill many functions from cocktail-style sipping to tableside excellence with lightly spicy meats. Platinum award winner at the 2014 San Diego International Wine Competition.
