2005 ZinStar Zinfandel

All of our ZinStar wines are barrel aged for 11 to 14 months and receive 3 to 4 years of bottle time prior to release. Back when people preferred a wine with several years of bottle age, we established this tradition. Very few winemakers are able to afford this crucial time in the bottle, which allows the bouquet to fully develop. You are rarely provided the opportunity to purchase a wine that has time in the bottle.

This table wine from the over 70 year old vines is unique in her bouquet and texture. This vintage is lush with layers of silky smooth richness and supple tannins, thus offering concentrated aromas of blackberries, boysenberries, and a hint of French Oak. This vintage is restrained and not overly ripe or alcoholic.

Serve with grilled salmon drizzled with a lemon caper sauce. Or perhaps you could try a roasted chicken massaged with an herb rub. How about some sun-dried tomato raviolis with a quick sauté of fresh olive oil, diced tomatoes, garlic, and basil.
