I’ll call this Zinfandel from Dutton-Goldfield a razzlecherry bomb that has the acidity to carry it off. The nose bursts with red fruit and fall spice, and those elements come through on the palate with what’s currently a citric vibe that leaves you with a zesty red fruit and spice finish. Go for something on the fatty side when pairing – a mixed salami platter would be a good place to start!
