Beringer “Stone Cellars” Zinfandel 2004/5
California, USA
8.25€
A traditional and crowd-pleasing ‘American-Zin’ style. The resulting wines showcases clove, white pepper and jammy black fruit aromas that lead into a mouth full of black berries and sweet spice. Intense and rich with liquorice notes, this is a big, rich wine with distinctive raisined fruit and leathery character.
Drink with: Not many wines come out on top with an encounter with sweet, spicy, sharp barbeque sauce but this is the wine to triumph in the face of BBQ Ribs, don’t forget the rest of the grill – this is great with Hamburgers (with all those relishes), Steaks & Hotdogs. On a more sophisticated level, try this with Thanksgiving / Christmas Turkey – all those punchy flavoured accompaniments – good old Zin shines!!
