Artezin Old Vine Zinfandel 2016
Mendocino County, California, United StatesArtezin Zinfandel is the comfortable pair of shoes, that spot on the sofa, your comfort food wine. It’s a soft, easy-sipping, fruity style, long on enjoyment, if short on complexity. The fruit is all Mendocino family-owned vineyards, sustainably farmed, along the ridgelines and benchland of the Ukiah Valley. A peppery, juicy, bright cherry, pomegranate, boysenberry, savoury and spicy nose leads to a fresh and surprisingly delicate palate, with raspberry, smoke, liquorice, brown spices and finishing with fine grained tannin to add some depth and weight. The blend is 84 percent zinfandel, 14 petite sirah, 2 carignan that is barrel aged in mostly French oak. Barbecue ribs is the classic match.Tasted: 02 November 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $24.99 | 750ml | private wine stores |
