Zin - the way it "Used to Be"!

We love big, ripe, jammy, over-the-top zinfandels just as much as the next person, but it's also great to have a zin that's lower in alcohol and has good acidity with some spiciness.

Our buddy, Vance Rose, has a zinfandel under his 5 Mile Bridge label that fits the bill.  Great structure - not overpowering, with delicious flavors of dark cherries accompanied by peppery spices in the finish...a true food wine!

Best of all is the price - originally selling for close to $20, we are featuring this delightful zinfandel from Paso Robles for only $9.99.

If you're a zin fan, this wine is certainly one that aims to please, and one we're sure you'll enjoy!
