Zinfandel

"Bold, flavorful, and smooth, Kunde Estate's 2005 Zinfandel is like the American West where it grows. It's flavors are up-front, straightforward, and sure of themselves, just what you would want in a good ranch hand mending your fences and herding your cattle. Boysenberry, cardamom, pepper, and a hint of chocolate combine to make a distinct wine that is instantly enjoyable. You might want to think about fresh greens with roasted beets and goat cheese, followed by some slow-cooked smoky ribs. Don't forget the napkins - this is good, messy eatin!" - Winemaker notes
