Light & Fruity Smooth & Supple Earthy & Spicy Big & Bold
winemaker's notes:

Deep ruby red color. Pronounced fresh cherry and sour cherry aromas with spice notes. Round and juicy on the palate, with flavors of dark cherry and spice against a backdrop of soft tannins.

Wonderful with steak and burgers thanks to its concentration of fruit flavors, and versatile enough to pair with pasta dishes and pizza.

100% Zweigelt

critical acclaim:

"Whether or not you approve of the name, this is an impressive zweigelt, its dark cherry and raspberry flavors gaining complexity from hints of game and wood smoke. The contrast between juicy fruitiness and edgier, earthier components creates vibrant tension."

Great value. Similar to a full-bodied Pinot, IMO. Would love to see more wines from this region.

Interesting. Smooth and a bit fruity. I think I'll stick with Pinots instead.

rating (1/31/2011):
This red from Austria was aptly named. Cherry dominates, but with a bit of spice that provokes more interest. It's fairly dry, and reasonably long on the finish, but not very complex. I paired it with a homemade lasagna since the label mentioned pasta, but I think this would go much better with a pork loin. Zins and certain Italian reds are still my faves with red sauces.
