Very unique and special Zinfandel wine from Australia with dark blackish red color, fragrant spicy nose of cinnamon and cloves and a full palate of ripe red and dark fruits with well-developed round tannins; this is a well-balanced, velvety wine with a touch of Port-like sweetness offset by the tannins that continue to develop hours after opening; at 14.5% this is a heady wine that matches well with roasted duck, beef or pork ribs; Nepenthe Wines specializes in high altitude viticulture and makes highly respected wines.
