This wine is from United States, California region, Sonoma County sub-region. Harvested from estate vineyards in the Alexander Valley, Russian River Valley and Dry Creek Valley, the 2000 vintage of our Knotty Vines Zinfandel is complex with fruit and spice. Aromas of raspberry, blackberry and strawberry carry through to the palate and are complemented with hints of vanilla bean, licorice and black pepper. Cinnamon and ginger snap spices mingle with molasses, brown sugar and toasty oak on the finish. The ample tannins will allow this wine to age gracefully in the bottle for 5-10 years.The combination of wild berry fruit and sweet spices make this wine an excellent accompaniment to toasted meats or smoked cheeses and will also stand up to an array of savory holiday fare.
