Crafted by Green & Red Winery in California’s renowned Napa Valley, this 2018 Zinfandel blends rustic charm with refined elegance. A standout among Napa red wines, this claret-style zin earned 93 points from Wine & Spirits and 92 points from Wine Spectator, showcasing its complex flavor profile and aging potential.
Aroma & Flavor Highlights
This award-winning Zinfandel opens with smoky depth layered over bright red berry notes—think raspberry and wild cherry—enhanced by hints of amaro bittersweetness and pine resin complexity. On the palate, a mentholated freshness complements lean yet juicy purple fruit flavors, while fine-grained tannins and lacy acidity create a smooth, energetic finish that lingers effortlessly.
Why Choose This Zinfandel?
Unlike many bold reds, this wine strikes a balance between richness and vibrancy thanks to its structured tannins and bright acidity—a perfect pairing for hearty dishes like grilled meats or spicy pasta. Its rustic accents of cinnamon-spiced wild cherry and bay leaf add an earthy sophistication often sought in premium California wines.
Serve & Savor
With 15.2% alcohol by volume, this full-bodied red shines best decanted or paired with robust cuisine. Enjoy now through 2029; its aging potential allows flavors to deepen over time without losing freshness.
