Opolo 2014 Summit Creek Zinfandel (Paso Robles)

Country: US / California
Variety: Zinfandel
Winery: Opolo / Summit Creek

Although one of the cheaper Zins in the winery’s line-up, it is showing the best right now, so drink up. Black cherry, licorice, smoked beef and a deep hibiscus note make for a very heady nose. There is a dense yet soft character to the well-structured palate, where strong flavors of blueberry, crushed slate, tobacco, leather and wild herbs make a tasty convergence.
