A lush texture and opulent aromas and flavors are among this Zin’s attractions. You’ll find berries, chocolate, black pepper and baking spices here. While the wine is big, it isn’t really a bruiser. Yes, it’s great with burgers and ribs, but it’ll also be a pleasurable partner for most interpretations of pork, lamb, lentils, and it rocks with chorizo burritos and many other Mexican foods.
