Solis Winery 2016 Zinfandel

This excellent estate Zinfandel provides an effective insight into the versatility of the Santa Clara Valley AVA. Full fruit rocks the nose with bright red cherry, red apple and fresh raspberry scents holding court. As the palate takes hold, blackberry jam, spiced plum and pepper are combined with savory herbs to provide an amazing taste adventure. As the wine evolves, dried sage and thyme emerge with raisin and a distinguishable anise over-flavor that lasts even after the finish. This wine screams for savory pasta sauces, rich meats and strongly flavored cheeses to accompany it!
