Wilson 2011 Buzz Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

Country: US / Buzz
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: Wilson / Dry Creek Valley

The 16% by volume alcohol on this Zin is high even by Wilson’s standards. It gives the wine a burn that it does not wear well. The body and flavors aren’t rich enough to carry the heat, the way that a proper Port can. Richly-sauced barbecue is your best bet for food pairing.
