My Review
I had this wine without food, but I would guess it to pair well with red meat. This wine was sharp and bitter, with some bite to it. On the nose I could definitely note the berry hints to it. Color-wise, this was a teeth stainer--it was dark red to purple--which in itself would probably lead me to stay away from this particular wine; additionally, this was my first dark zinfandel.
