Kendall-Jackson, California (United States) Zinfandel 2015

 With its sturdy blackberry and raspberry flavors backed up by subtle spice and a good, dry finish, this is an altogether engaging Zinfandel.  While its upfront fruit marks this wine as unmistakably Zinfandel, there is nothing overheated or unpleasantly sweet going on here — on the contrary, its well balanced boldness is what makes this a terrific partner for chili con carne and other similarly bold foods.
