Wine Description:
Acre Zinfandel is a red wine produced in the Oakville AVA of the Napa Valley. This is an unusual appellation in which to find Zinfandel due to the popularity of Cabernet Sauvignon. In fact, this was the last Zinfandel to be planted in the region. The vineyards are certified as being farmed according to organic principles. The sun causes thicker skins and creates a more grippy style of California Zinfandel. The result is a full bodied wine with notes of fig, cherry and cinnamon that is a good choice for any advocate of Zinfandel who may enjoying trying examples of the grape for lesser known origins.

Wine acidity refers to the tartness of a wine, which gives a tingling sensation on the side of the tongue. A metallic-like sharp taste is also associated with high acidity. Sometimes a high level of sweetness, such as in luscious dessert wines, can disguise a high level of acidity. Acidity can range from soft to searing.

Wine tannin gives wine its textural mouthfeel and astringency. Tannin is a natural compound found in grape skins, seeds, and stems. It contributes to the structure and helps to balance out the sweetness of the fruit. Tannins are usually discussed when it comes to red wines, even though some white and rosé wines with certain wine making techniques can also contain tannins.
