Zinfandel

Zinfandel is a red wine grape variety that is the second most planted red grape in California. The grape makes robust, aromatic, juicy wines that are high in alcohol. Every Red Zinfandel, no matter how “jammy,” has a sweet fruity quality with a finish of spice and tobacco. The wine is also light in color, lighter than Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Since the Red Zinfandel has a very high alcohol content, its texture is oily, and has a very bold body.
