La Boutanche - BROC Cellars Zinfandel 2022

California’s identity as a table wine, for us, begins with Zinfandel. It’s a fresh, vibrant grape when picked early and plays well with food pairings. The Zinfandel grapes were destemmed and naturally fermented in open top stainless fermenters.

After the wine was gently pressed, it was aged in neutral French oak barrels for 8 months. We made this acid driven, food friendly wine that everyone should enjoy at the table.  This was an Eric Asimov pick for Thanksgiving Wines

Aroma: Bright and expressive, featuring notes of cherry, raspberry, and subtle hints of pepper and baking spice.

Palate: Light to medium-bodied with a lively acidity. Flavors of zesty red fruits are complemented by a touch of spice, offering a refreshing and balanced profile.

Pair with charcuterie, pasta, grilled meats and vege’s.
