A good, dry Zinfandel, although it's a little overripe in prunes. Not too much, though, so don't be alarmed. It's very spicy, suggesting drinking with equally spicy foods, like spice-rubbed beef, pork and chicken, grilled to perfection. Nice restaurant wine due to its elegance.

A bit thin and acidic, but charming for its dryness and firm tannins, which call for rich, marbled beef. The pepper-inspired blackberry and cassis flavors are fine. Not an ager, but will benefit from a few hours of decanting.
