Bright-eyed Zinfandel with a fair amount of oak spice (hence the name?) that works thanks to lively blackberry and black cherry, with a zesty kiss of acidity to finish things off. Grilled meats, medium cheeses, solo — you make the call. A Platinum Award Winner at the 2018 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
