Beran Sonoma Zinfandel 2017

Tasting Notes

This wine is everything for which classic Dry Creek, Alexander Valley, and Russian River Valley Zinfandels are renowned. Extended fruit maceration (up to 30 days) and generous oak treatment (12 months in American and French barrels) has resulted in a pretty big yet dry red.

Deep, dark purple with burgundy hues. Notes of blackberry pie, blueberries and ripe plum, with hints of earth and fresh herbs. Alluring flavours of blueberry and ripe blackberry, well balanced and complemented by hints of nutmeg and brown sugar with a white pepper finish.

Overall, this is a medium – to full-bodied wine with well-structured tannins, beautiful mid-palate weight, and a lingering, luxurious finish.

Food Pairings

Ideally pair with spicy red-sauce pasta, St. Louis style ribs and Point Reyes blue cheese with Genoa Salami
