Test a Wine Tuesday with Linda from the Sahali Liquor Store introduced us to a red Zinfandel from Boneshaker Wines in California. Bolder vines make bolder Zins. The main sources of this Zinfandel, the Bruella and Fathom Vineyards, are home to vines over forty years old. These vines produce intense, robust Zinfandel with full-tilt flavors. Brick red and deep purple in the glass, a bit of sweetness with a structured palate. Fruity at first, vanilla cream mid, and cacao chocolate with at bit of oak to finish. A delicious bright, and fruit forward with many deep fruit characteristics standing out such as plum, cherry, and boysenberry. Boneshaker’s full body is a great pairing for cioppino, lasagna, or pizza. This is a must try!
