2006 Adelaida Zinfandel Paso Robles

Aromas of raspberries and spice are plentiful in this clear, dark garnet zinfandel from California's Central Coast. This is more elegant expression of that varietal than seems to currently be in vogue, and there is a good deal of peppery spice that accompanies its toned-down berry fruit. This would be a fine choice to accompany Italian pasta dishes or flavorful sausages and burgers from the grill.
