Green & Red, Zinfandel "Tip Top", Napa Valley, CA 2013
BLACK RASPBERRY, WHITE PEPPER & CINNAMON, BOLD & BALANCED
Zinfandel grapes have been in California for a long time, brought there during the 1850s Gold Rush and first planted just north of Napa Valley. This outstanding, elegant elixir comes from Napa’s high elevation, the “Tip Top” vineyard. Located in Chiles Valley, its steep, terraced topography immediately recalls the famously otherworldly terrain of Portugal’s Douro. In this bottle, power meets finesse, showing Zin’s classic, spicy, concentrated charm, without crossing into jammy territory.
Serving Suggestion: Juicy bison burgers w/ bacon & blue cheese. Spicy vegan pad see ew w/ fried tofu & black Chinese mushrooms.
