Madrigal Zinfandel 2013

Description

2013 harvest started with a very late bud break due to wet and cool spring weather. The growing season was also very cool and promoted conditions for mildew that we constantly fought, and late bud break further delayed harvest. The cool, wet weather also affected the set of the crop to less than normal.
The nose that of a potent young wine, showing a rich candied red fruit character of fraise and maraschino cherry, with hints of sandalwood, black peppercorns and allspice..
This is a big wine in terms of mouth feel and fruit. The first flavors are dominated by big, candied red fruit, which confirms the impressions offered up on the nose and almost makes you think there is a touch of sweetness - really ripe red cherries and the sweetest of tiny, wild strawberries, balanced with a light touch of oak and a subtle hint of black pepper. The finish is balanced, long & persistent, with the rich fruit character evening out the more than ample alcohol. The finish is crisp with bright acidity, leaving the mouth salivating and wanting more.
Easy to enjoy while cooking and with the meal. Pair with burgers, BBQ baby-back ribs, bone-in pork chops; perfect with pepperoni pizza for a quick, easy meal.
