Buehler Vineyards Zinfandel 2020

Buehler Vineyards Zinfandel 2020 is a robust and mouth-filling California red crafted from low-yielding, dry-farmed estate vines with mature roots over 40 years old. Interspersed with a touch of Petite Sirah for added color and structure, this deeply layered wine is aged for 12 months in a mix of French and American oak. It greets the nose with warm, inviting aromas of a summer briar patch, juicy raspberries, and cooked dark plums. On the palate, focused and plump flavors of brambly blackberry and zesty cherry are beautifully accented by savory spices, licorice, and peppery, toasty notes, all framed by fine-grained tannins that lead to a smooth, flavorful finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with sticky barbecue pork ribs, grilled lamb chops, hearty red meat-based pasta dishes, and gourmet wood-fired pizza.
