Nice, smooth-drinking zin. Wonderful ripe Russian River valley fruit. Good, basic, hearty zinfandel. DeLoach was named a 2003 "Winery of the Year" by Wine and Spirits magazine, one of four Sonoma and four Napa wineries to be given the award.
Young, red ruby color. Bright burst of red cherry aroma and flavor, with hints of raspberry and pepper. Enough tannin to provide structure to the flavor, without being overpowering. Nice fruit/acid tang, with lingering raspberry in the finish.
Drinking fine now. Usual zinfandel matches: roast fowl, red meat, pasta with red sauce, pizza.
$14.99, Raleigh, Carolina Wine Co.
