Napa Cellars, Napa Valley (California) Zinfandel 2016

Jun 15, 2020

By Marguerite Thomas

 If you like big, lush, ripe red wine, this Napa Cellars Zinfandel is definitely for you.  It is packed with black and red berry fruits spiked with a dash of black pepper, a touch of vanilla and hints of dry fennel and other spices.  It is a standout with steak but I also enjoyed it recently with a simple burger.  On a very hot day the alcohol may seem a little aggressive, but popping the bottle in the freezer for a few minutes before pouring seems to take care of the problem.
