Robert Craig Zinfandel Howell Mountian- Napa Valley 2021 (750ml) Size:750ml and a hint of melonOur 2021 Black Sears Vineyard Zinfandel is a beguiling wine of impeccable balance, power and length. The short crop in a drought year means that the white pepper and red, volcanic stone accents are woven deeply into the exotic, dark fruit. This Zinfandel displays loads of terroir maybe more so than any other wine in the vintage, and its incredibly versatile with food. It sings with grilled fish, grilled meat, pasta, cheeses, burgers and pizza
