Zinfandel

Zinfandel Wine Details
Price: $32.00 per bottle

Description: A carnival barker absolutely devoid of subtlety & finesse, there is nothing “Bordeaux-like” about this wine. With delicate levels of ethanol pushing 17% by volume, this Zin is an outrageous compote of classic raspberry layered with elderberry, long, deep & juicy, & certainly delightful in the company of a fine haunch of wild boar, studded with slivers of garlic, generously peppered & rubbed with aromatic herbs, spun to roast à la ficelle in front of glowing, smoking embers. No linen table cloth please, just an exceedingly capacious weekend filled with mischievous rascals, rapscallions, wild exaggeration & laughter.
