2018 Fair Oaks Ranch Zinfandel

The latest vintage of Fair Oaks’ platinum medal-winning Zinfandel is packed with rich berry jam flavors and hints of black pepper and anise. A nice touch of acidity creates a clean, food-friendly finish. Originating from Europe where it is known by other names, such as Primitivo in Italy and Tribidrag in Croatia, Zinfandel thrives in warm, sunny climates. Expect a jammy, black-fruited quality to this wine, which also shows off a spicy tobacco finish. We love to recommend Zinfandel for a barbecue—its boldness is often a match for grilled foods, but it’s also smooth enough to enjoy on its own.
