2007 Zinfandel - "The Jackal"

A gift from our cousin the Jackal. Origin unknown.
A mystical red wine to be sure.

The 2007 Zinfandel is a fine example of the style of zin you can find in warmer regions like Paso Robles. A big, forward mouthfeel and fruit explosion in the front of the wine follow to a smooth, jammy middle. Layers of white pepper and spice lend a full-bodied finish to a splendid wine for those who desire zinfandel with a little attitude.
