Timothy Olson Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 2016
About the wine
Tantalizing red, perfect for grilled meat right now or after aging
- This is a classic Zinfandel in aroma and taste with a slight hint of mocha/cocoa. With red fruit notes of berries and black cherries, lush mouthfeel and a nice long finish, this wine will pair nicely with a range of foods."
- "...But we can never make enough, and it will sell out fast. Stock up now 'cause it won't be there when you go back to order more!"
- "In the 'real' world, this wine would retail for $30 to $40. At the price our Angels pay, it’s a steal for under $20."
Best before
I look for balance in my wines. They need acidity in order to pair with food and age properly. My wines age easily for 5 to 10 years, sometimes longer. They drink well young although I recommend a good aerative decanting when consuming the wine if its under three years old.
Serving advice
Yes. Open, decant and enjoy!
Food match
Burgers, Ribs or Pizza, you can't go wrong.
Contains sulphites
