This wine will benefit hugely from some time in the decanter, as a little reductive note needs some time to blow off. When it does, you get solid Zinfandel character in a dry style that’s more refined than bombastic, making it suitable for the main course of red meat, whether steak or burgers. It will be nice to have around, and the price won’t break the bank.
