2022 Reserve Zinfandel

This Reserve Zinfandel opens with an inviting nose of tart cranberry and a hint of warm holiday spice—think cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. On the palate, layers of ripe plum and blackberry unfold with rich, velvety depth, balanced by a subtle touch of pepper and vanilla from oak aging. Medium to full-bodied, the wine carries a lush fruit core framed by lively acidity, evoking the comforting flavors of Christmas baking and winter berries. The finish is smooth and lingering, leaving traces of sweet spice and dark fruit that invite another sip.

This pairs beautifully with smoky barbecue, roasted duck, or spiced lamb. Its cranberry and baking spice notes also complement holiday dishes like turkey with cranberry relish or glazed ham. For cheese, try aged cheddar or gouda, and for dessert, enjoy with dark chocolate or spice cake.
