Artezin Wines, Dry Creek Valley (Sonoma County, California) Zinfandel 2011

Mar 5, 2014

By Rich Cook

Here is a fine example of why Zinfandel seems to have found its home in Dry Creek Valley.  Aromas of cherry and bramble berry mix with fall spice and black pepper, a are translated directly to flavors on the palate, with bright acidity and full body carrying everything through a well integrated finish that lingers long.  I’d go for some grilled sausages and roasted peppers for a satisfying pairing.
