This zinfandel from Sbragia Family Vineyards is amazing. Classic zinfandel in every sense and, while on the higher side of the price range, still pretty reasonable for the quality.
When we first opened the bottle and took a quick smell, we knew that this was going to be very good. The nose was rich with black cherry, raspberry and hints of earthiness. This carried over to the palate where it was balanced with solid peppercorn spice and notes of ginger. This was full-bodied all the way with a long finish that ended with touches of licorice.
We drink a lot of zinfandels, and tend towards the $10-15 range. While there are a lot of really good zinfandels out there in this price point, I personally believe that there is a distinct difference as you move up the price ladder. This was $24.99 and miles apart from what we have been drinking recently. Probably not an everyday wine for most of us (unfortunately!) but if you really want a special zinfandel then this would be an outstanding choice.
Cheers!
