Pedroncelli 2005 Mother Clone Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

Country: US / Mother Clone
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: Pedroncelli / Dry Creek Valley

This drily elegant Zin needs food to perk it up, especially lighter meats, like veal, pork or chicken. It’s not full-bodied enough for beef, with flavors of cherries and tobacco that are almost Pinot-esque in their silky texture. Good value for its complexity.
