Alexander Valley Vineyards Zinfandel Temptation 2011

Zinfandel grapes are made into a range of wines from robust red blockbusters to white Zinfandel which is rarely white but rather pink and a little sweet. After decades of speculation the origins of the varietal have been pinned down in the as dozen years; the Croatian grape Crlienka. There was a time in California when these wines were described as brambly. Flavours associated with red Zinfandel include raspberry, Italian plum, black cherry and spices particularly blank pepper and cinnamon. This varietal can have rather high alcohol.

Food Pairings

A perfect wine to drink with casual fare. A barbecued brisket sandwich would be perfect with a glass of Temptation or maybe some baby back ribs. Or enjoy a glass or two with a cheeseburger topped with a good cheddar and a spoonful of roasted Anaheims
