Prepare yourself for a wild ride if you pony up for this gamy, exotic Zinfandel. Leathery, earthy notes are very prominent aromatically, and though the flavors are more more fruity than "animal," as the French would put it, there’s plenty of that in the mix as well. A Double Gold Award winner at the 2020 Toast of the Coast International Wine Competition.
