Napa Cellars Zinfandel 2009, Napa Valley, CA

This Zinfandel is dark purple and opaque in the glass. The nose reveals intense, ripe berries, candied strawberry preserves and cinnamon spice. The palate follows with juicy, rounded fruit flavors that mingle with layers of warm, supple tannins leading to a long, plush finish. This is a well-balanced zinfandel and is perfect with barbeque, try pairing the wine with Baby Back Ribs or Pulled-Pork Sandwiches garnished with sweet and spicy coleslaw.
