Cartlidge & Browne Zinfandel

''Cartlidge and Browne was established in the Spring of 1980 with a commitment to crafing adordable California wines especially for the sophisticated wine buyer. The wines in the C&B portfolio are well-balanced appropriately tannic lightly oaked and low in alcohol perfect for food-friendly pairings. Winemaker's tasting impressions This approachable fruit-forward Zinfandel is a sure crowd pleaser. e wine was aged in a 50% split of French and American Oak for a year with about 30% of that new. is allows the Zin to practically burst with aromas of ripe black cherry a little blueberry and brown sugar. Rich berry and soft chocolate linger long on the palate mingling with soft tannins and spice. This well-structured Zinfandel is perfectly balanced between tannins and acid making it an excellent companion to a range of foods. It can easily handle a good bit of spice on your favorite barbecue and is perfect with spicy tomato-based dishes.'' - Cartlidge & Browne
