Friendly, uncomplicated and comfy, this Zinfandel is the wine equivalent of hanging out with an easygoing old friend. You don’t have to work hard to appreciate this wine: the fruit is ripe and sweet, the acid balance is right where it should be for relaxed imbibing, and the body is mellow rather than intense and heavy.
