Trattore Wines, Dry Creek Valley (Sonoma County, California) 2010

This delicious blend is comprised of 43% Zinfandel, 33% Petite Sirah, 17% Grenache and 8% Syrah, so it will come as no surprise that it is a big, intensely flavorful wine.  What is surprising is that it is also exceptionally well integrated and quite restrained in oak usage, which reflects excellent decision-making, since the fruit is simply gorgeous, showing both black and red berry character that proves very harmonious and endearing.  Platinum award winner at the 2013 San Diego International Wine Competition.
