Zinfandel
75cl * Sustainable * Vegan * 14.0% ABV * California, USA
'Cali Zin', as it's affectionately known on the West Coast, is traditionally big and black-fruited with plenty of powerful oak. Wente's cooler-than-usual vineyard sites dotted around the Bay Area produce a more medium-bodied, but nonetheless soft and smooth style of Zinfandel, steeped in strawberry and black tea notes. Its juiciness would be more than welcome alongside a rack of ribs or no-frills burger.
