Country: US / Cuccio
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: Pech Merle / Dry Creek Valley
This showcases the varietal’s rustic side, with edgy tannins and a briary mouthfeel framing cherry, raspberry, spice and tobacco flavors. It’s dry and very high in alcohol, which gives it a glycerine-based sweetness. This does a good job expressing the essential Dry Creek Zinfandel character.
