2008 WOOD ROAD RESERVE ZINFANDEL

GOLD MEDAL WINNING WINE
Deep, rich aromas of blackberry, raspberry and vanillin oak fuse with a touch of spicy pepper and dusty plum. The smooth entry caresses
the palate with opulent blackberry-ladened mocha. Hints of blueberry, strawberry, black pepper and baking spices join in, lingering into the luxurious cherry and dark chocolate-laced finish. Beautifully balanced, this Zin can be enjoyed solo,
or will pair perfectly with braised lamb shanks, osso bucco, eggplant Parmesan, a selection of cheeses and so much more. Delicious now,
and has excellent aging potential

2007 WOOD ROAD RESERVE ZINFANDEL

GOLD MEDAL WINNING WINE

This young wine promises to be a showstopper. Deeply set fruit aromas layer over spicy pepper and rich oak notes. Luscious blackberry and fresh raspberry flavors fuse with plush mocha and vanillin oak. Spicy black pepper appears mid-palate and lingers into the lengthy finish.
Try with slow-roasted lamb shanks over polenta, or be adventuresome and pair with cedar-planked salmon or black pepper encrusted seared ahi.
