description: This big, high-octane Zinfandel trades elegance for sheer power. It's dry, at the expense of high alcohol, and massive in flavors, offering a flood of black currants, raisins, chocolate, anise, cola and peppery spices. Decant for a few hours and drink with short ribs and similar rich fare.
variety: Zinfandel
designation: Rockpile Ridge Vineyard
