Service Suggestions

The 2016 Zinfandel is the rare sort of wine that is perfectly at home in the summer with a delicious smoked meat or pork butt, or just as delicious in the dead of winter with a hearty beef stew. Rich bleu or strongly flavored cheeses will go hand in hand with this wine, as would roasted squash or potatoes with olive oil. Allow to breathe or decant for two hours. 

2016 Zinfandel

Enjoying the 2016 Volcano Ridge Vineyard Zinfandel is as easy as slipping on your favorite robe, but with a complexity that will captivate like the perfect little black dress. The fruit notes of the bouquet remind us of pulling a freshly baked blackberry pie from the oven in August, with the dark fruit and subtle, nutty spice. It expresses just a nip of cacao on the finish, but with a relaxed and easygoing tannin, there can be no doubt about how easily drinkable this wine is. One of the best parts of this Oregon Zinfandel is how beautifully it is aging and evolving in the bottle. With a ruby red color that does Snow White’s apple proud, the 2016 Volcano Ridge Zinfandel is the perfect accompaniment to any evening.
