2020 V5 Zinfandel

“This elegant, racy wine could almost be a Pinot Noir, judging by its light-garnet color, moderate tannins, taut balance and mouthwatering raspberry and red-cherry flavors. It is the refreshing opposite of many soft, chocolaty Zins and worth seeking out.” - Jim Gordon, Wine Enthusiast

Our 2020 V5 Zinfandel stands apart from other foothill Zins. Nurtured on the deep-rooted vines of V5 Vineyards’ south-facing slopes, our debut release of this distinctive Zinfandel will delight your senses.

Aromas of dark cherry, star anise, white pepper, and Herbes De Provence are playfully chased by flavors of Bing cherries, raspberries, allspice, and earthy blackberries. V5 Zinfandel pairs exceedingly well with cream-based pastas, curry chicken, roasted tomato tarts, and triple cream brie. Alcohol 14.8%
