You’re about to launch into a plate of luscious pasta, with Italian sausage and marinara. So you crave the exact right red wine, and you crave it now!
Winemaker Michael Sones has made the wine you need. Sones Zinfandel Central Coast 2010 is everything a zin should be. Extravagantly full-bodied, spicy, packed with attitude yet discreetly so. An assertive black cherry nose, with a hint of autumn forest mahogany and birch fills each sip—the balance is spot-in, so much so that essentially the hand of the winemaker remains transparent. The wine itself speaks most clearly.
This is a wine that rewards the full attention of the mouth. A very likeable, and big-shouldered (15% alc) red that partners robust foods brilliantly ($24 at all the usual suspects).
