Diane's Reserve Zinfandel
Seductive yet subtle white pepper, spicy berries and oak aromas frame the wine. Lush, dark mixed berries and a hint of plum merge with subtle yet spicy pepper as this opulent elixir glides across the palate and lingers on. Beautifully balanced with perfectly integrated oak, tannin and fruit, this Zin is a sonnet in a glass—flawlessly metered and rhymed.
Though it will pair well with a juicy steak or your favorite pasta dish, we recommend trying it with a bubble bath, a glowing fire, a favorite book or that someone special that makes you smile.
