From the rugged terrain of Spring Mountain District, the Elyse Winery Zinfandel from the 2016 vintage is a true reflection of its terroir, scoring a commendable 95 points. This magnum-sized beauty bursts with vibrant notes of ripe blackberries and juicy plums, intertwined with hints of black pepper and a whisper of vanilla from its oak aging. The wine’s lush, velvety texture is perfectly balanced by a refreshing acidity, making it incredibly approachable yet complex. Ideal for a celebratory dinner with grilled lamb or a hearty pasta dish, this Zinfandel not only impresses with its depth but also represents a remarkable value, delivering far beyond its price point.
