Oakville Winery Zinfandel

Oakville Winery Zinfandel is an elegant, beautifully refined, and highly structured California red wine crafted by winemaker Lynn Watanabe for the historic Oakville Winery, a label of Ghost Block Estate Wines. Stepping away from the traditional, heavily fruit-forward California Zinfandel style, this 100% Zinfandel is crafted with meticulous restraint from organically farmed vines in the Lincoln Creek and Pelissa vineyards. In the glass, it displays a vibrant, deep ruby color. The aromatic bouquet is highly expressive and layered, opening with inviting aromas of fresh cherry, ripe raspberries, and juicy pomegranate, seamlessly interwoven with delicate nuances of hibiscus flower, warm spices, and subtle oak. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and flawlessly balanced, delivering a bright, clean entry of lively red fruit flavors. This elegant fruit expression is perfectly supported by fine-grained tannins and a refreshing, zesty acidity, culminating in a wonderfully crisp, complex, and lively finish.

Food Pairing:

Pairs beautifully with savory duck confit, grilled lamb chops, roasted pork tenderloin with a cherry reduction, and moderately aged cheeses.
