Leon Tackitt’s 50/50 blend of Creston District Barbera and Estrella District Zinfandel is a vibrant glass of red fruit, spice, vanilla and cola delivered with popping acidity, finishing long with an emphasis on cherry fruit and sweet oak spice. It’s a delicious, light-bodied, full-flavored and food friendly red with lots of pairing possibilities.
