Newsome Harlow, El Dorado (California) Zinfandel 2021

 Here is what I call a “razzleberry” style Zinfandel — meaning it’s all about the red and black berry fruit and spice, but it’s not over extracted or over-ripe, which means it maintains pleasant peppery character that both lifts and offsets the fruit.  This will pair nicely with turkey, beef or medium to strong cheeses.  Winemaker Scott Klann doesn’t just source from anywhere — he’s quite adept at selecting prime sources.
