Tasting notes
Appearance: Deep purple/ruby core lightening
toward the rim of the glass with moderately stained
thick tears.
Aroma: Aromatic, with brambly blackberry,
raspberry, and dusty red cherry with cracked black
pepper, black olive notes, and just a touch of oak
and barrel spice.
Palate: Dry, full-bodied, and balanced on the
palate, with red and black berry, red cherry,
cranberry, and subtle vanilla on entry. The
mid-palate shows oak accents with cracked pepper and
rhubarb notes. The finish is clean, moderately long,
showing bold but finely textured tannins and
sustained fruit along with camphor and herbal notes.
Food pairings
The 2020 JUSTIN Zinfandel shows its best when you need both intensity and palate cleansing freshness. Try it with bold foods like BBQ, whether brisket or spare ribs, or with a pepperoni pizza.
