About the Wine

The 2018 Leese-Fitch Zinfandel is one of our favorite wines, immediately opening up with black raspberry and clove spice aromas on the nose. A full-bodied wine with layers of brambly fruit flavors, leather, spiced mocha, and toasted coconut, the tannins are velvety and well-integrated, giving the wine a plush and soft mouthfeel. This is a bright and fruit-forward wine with good acidity that leads to a long-lasting and flavorful finish.

The ultimate pairing for this Zinfandel would be a Portobello mushroom burger topped with a red pepper relish with a side of sweet potato fries. Or even better, pair with pork tamales or Korean BBQ tacos. 

Blend: 80% Zinfandel, 12% Petite Sirah, 6% Merlot, 2% Syrah
