Stylistically, California Zinfandel is all over the map, although there is one characteristic constant, a jammy-spicy Zinness . The 2010 McManis Zinfandel, aged for five months in French and American oak has a medium-deep ruby color, low intensity jammy nose with subtle spicy back notes. There’s good acidity to support the sweet-fruit flavors, 13.5% alcohol and nice length through the finish. This Zin is a good match with grilled meats and the price is right.
