About the wine
Robust, fruit-driven Zinfandel from a leading Sonoma expert
- This bold, refined Zinfandel courses with dark fruit flavors like ripe blackberry and plum, layered over a touch of peppery spice and a signature rich, long-lasting finish.
- With the help of Angel funding, winemaker Franc Dusak selected high-end grapes grown in the red volcanic soils of the Sonoma Valley’s hillside vineyards, where long, warm days help Zinfandel develop a complex, distinctly fruit-driven character.
- As Director of Winemaking at your nakedwines.com wine studio in Kenwood, California, Franc brings hundreds of wines to life every year. Your funding also helps him channel his incredible expertise into unique wines of his own like this world-class Sonoma Zinfandel – now it’s all yours to enjoy!
Best before
Ideally these wines would age for a year or two, but if you must open now, please decant it for at least half an hour.
Serving advice
It's so important to decant these wines - a half hour of air will make a world of difference.
Food match
Highly concentrated fruit flavors are balanced by ample tannins, making this Zin ideal with heavy, robust dishes such as roast lamb, meat stews, hearty pastas, or barbequed dishes.
