South Coast Winery Zinfandel

South Coast Winery Zinfandel Wine Details
Price: $20.00 per bottle

Description: Harvested from the Victoria Block of Lopez Ranch, this vineyard and the wines it produces are very consistent and luscious. The 2003 is rich in strawberry, blackberry and cherry aromas, with hints of prune and plum. The American oak has wrapped itself around the fruit character with soft smokey note and given a very solid structure for tannins to build upon. Dark chocolate and caramel covered cherries, plum jam, a touch of bay leaf and black pepper are all flavors that come forth in this complex wine. The 2003 Zinfandel has the potential for aging is over the next five to six years. A nice steak, like a New York Strip, would be the perfect way to reunite the east coast with this long since west coast transplant.
