TASTING NOTES:
Our 2012 Project Paso Zinfandel shows its Paso Robles roots with explosive scents of plum, dark cherry, cracked white pepper and violet. As bold and rich as this wine is on the nose, it is similarly robust on the palate. Flavors of ripe raspberry, pomegranate and cinnamon bark invigorate the senses and deliver a lush softness to the palate. This wine off ers a compelling blend of dark juicy fruit and fl oral tones. The 20% Syrah adds uniqueness to this wine, an edge of wild fruit that integrates seamlessly with the vanilla and dill notes coming from the 12 months American oak aging. The finish is impressively long, framed by light, dusty tannins.
FOOD PAIRINGS:
This robust Zinfandel pairs well with full- flavored dishes, enjoy with an appetizer of cured meats and olives, a bbq pulled pork sandwich on a homemade sesame bun or pecan and bourbon bread pudding for dessert.
