Jed Steele’s Shooting Star Zinfandel is lighter and fruitier than a lot of contemporary Zins. You’ll definitely want this wine to go with summer barbecued foods. Its lush berry and balsamic flavors seasoned by a touch of oak seem made for the sweet-and-savory thrill of barbecued ribs, not to mention the salty/spicy zing of hot dogs.
