Cedarville Vineyard 2009 Estate Zinfandel (El Dorado)

Country: US / Estate
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: Cedarville Vineyard / El Dorado

Cedarville is loved for its Syrah and Grenache but it can expertly handle its estate Zinfandel too—grown at 2,500-foot elevation—This smoky, raspberry-wrapped, silky wine is full of big, round mountain tannins yet somehow manages to be light on its feet on the finish. Have it with sticky ribs.
