Gary Farrell 2013 Grist Vineyard Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

Country: US / Grist Vineyard
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: Gary Farrell / Dry Creek Valley

Intensely dense and feral, this wine opens with a thicket of tart cherry and strawberry, followed by leathery black pepper and lavender. Medium in body and acidity, it works for the table, finding balance as it goes, before a rich taste of toffee finishes things off.
