Dutton-Goldfield 2006 Zinfandel (Russian River Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: Dutton-Goldfield / Russian River Valley

The wine is rustically spicy, peppery and briary, with sandpapery tannins, but hey, it’s Zinfandel, not Cabernet, and it’s a really good one. Dry and brawny, it shows rich wild berry, tobacco, tabasco and carob flavors, and will pair well with game, beef tamales or mushu pork.
