Our special this week is the Edmeades Zinfandel (California – Mendocino, United States) – $21.49 (regularly $26.99)
Edmeades makes bold wines from the rugged coastal vineyards in Mendocino County’s rugged coastal mountains. Their Zinfandels are intense with distinctive character and personality. They work side by side with a small group of growers, who year after year produce some of Mendocino County’s most highly-prized grapes. They prefer a delicate touch in the cellar, allowing each vineyard to be fully expressed in the wines that they make.
This Zinfandel begins with concentrated aromas of baking spices including; cinnamon and cloves. Those spices give way to aromas of blackberries, black currants, and dried sage. The texture is round, and the fruit expression is focused and lush. Subtle and integrated tannins accentuate the richness of the wine, while pleasant acidity keeps it fresh on the finish. Try with anything barbecue.
