This classic-style Zin is complex, appetizing and well-balanced, from its sage, raspberry and baked earth aromas to lightly tangy but ripe plum, dried cherry and black-pepper flavors. Moderate tannins and good acidity give it great freshness, inviting more and more sips. Best through 2028.

COMMENTARY: The 2019 Renwood Reserve Grandpère Zinfandel is a robust red showing excellent balance and style. TASTING NOTES: This wine is generous in its aromas and flavors with notes of black fruit, licorice, and oak. Enjoy its ride on the palate with a thick, juicy, grilled ribeye.
