Speaking of stylistic diversity, Zinfandel can proudly take a seat right next to Pinot Noir at the table. This example is in-your-face “razzleberry,” with focused zesty acidity keeping things bright and not at all ponderous. A grilling aficionado’s dream, and a Platinum Award winner at the 2021 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
