The Alexander Valley Vineyards Redemption Zinfandel often displays a deep, ruby red color, indicative of its rich and inviting nature.The nose is a delightful blend of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, complemented by notes of vanilla, black pepper, and a hint of smoky oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, with a luscious texture that envelopes flavors of jammy berries, dark cherries, and a touch of sweet spices like cinnamon and clove. The tannins are well-rounded and integrate seamlessly with the fruit and oak, contributing to the wine's overall balance and smooth finish. This Zinfandel is a great example of Alexander Valley's capability to produce Zinfandels that are both intense and refined, perfect for enjoying with grilled meats, hearty pastas, or on its own as a sumptuous treat.
