Yes, Virginia, some Napa Valley producers are still committed to quality Zinfandel, and this version from Keenan is worthy of your best Barbeque. Bold spice and soft black pepper join brambly fruit on a structure that will tame your wild sauce and make for a great meal addition. It’s got some stuffing for the cellar as well — decant it, or age it up to five years, maybe longer.
