About these gifts
You may be familiar with “White Zinfandel,” a sweet style of pink wine made from Zinfandel grapes. The “other” Zinfandel (without the White in its name) is a dry red wine made from the same grapes. Dry is the opposite of sweet in wine-speak. Zinfandel is a favorite among red wine lovers because of its typical bold flavors of cherry, black pepper, sometimes jam, usually spice, and a tobacco-like smokiness. These Zinfandel gifts will scratch the itch for your favorite Zin fanatic.

Ancient Peaks Paso Robles Santa Margarita Zinfandel 2018
Why This Gift
Wine Enthusiast: Baked blackberry aromas provide intense density on the nose of this bottling, with accents of fennel frond and cola adding nuance. The palate combines baked earth and sagebrush flavors with black currant and blackberry, with just enough tension holding it together." Winery: "Our estate Margarita Vineyard has become renowned for producing one of Paso Robles’ most acclaimed Zinfandels. Here, amid one of the region’s coolest growing environments, the Zinfandel grape achieves a rare balance of robust flavors and elegant structure. Zinfandel has been a cornerstone variety of Paso Robles for more than 100 years, and we are proud to feature it in our small family of wines. The 2018 Zinfandel offers deep, savory aromas of black cherry and plum with notes of vanilla, tobacco and dusty spice. Bright, brambly flavors of red raspberry and boysenberry unfold across a juicy texture with hints of cedar wood and black tea. Fresh acidity adds lift and structure to a sleek, peppery finish. The bright fruit and juicy texture of the 2018 Zinfandel make this wine a fitting match for fine comfort foods, including barbecued chicken, grilled sausage, Santa Maria-style tri-tip and vegetarian flatbread."

Valravn Zinfandel Sonoma County 2019
Why This Gift
92 Points, Wine Enthusiast: "This wine presents outstanding value. It was aged 14 months in French oak, mostly neutral. Velvety thick, it is peppery and bursting in berry bramble, graham cracker and cola. The richness is nicely offset by bursts of acidity that keep it fresh and grounded."

About the Wine
Lewis 2018 Red Blend Alec's Blend
Like a stream-side thicket of blackberries basking in the hot afternoon sun, the Lewis Cellars 2018 Alec's Blend captures the essence of summer. A blend of 57% Syrah, 28% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 1% Cabernet Franc, the Alec's Blend boasts incredible color, aromas of creme de cassis, scorched earth, and chocolate, and layers of prodigious fruit with briar and vanilla spice. It's rich, full-bodied and concentrated, yet still shows restraint and purity with soft, supple, chocolately tannins that lead into a long lasting finish. A beautiful, compelling wine! Enjoy!
Lawer Estates 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Grown
Deep reddish-purple in color, the Lawer Estates 2015 'Hillside Grown' Cabernet Sauvignon has terrific depth and concentration. The aromas are rich, ripe and generous with notes of sweet blackcurrant, tobacco and toasted oak. On the palate, these aromas are met with lavish cassis flavors and complemented by vanillin oak, solid tannin structure, and a lush framework. This Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is tasting beautifully now, but it will continue to evolve with time in the cellar. Enjoy!
Blue Rock 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon
Blue Rock's 2018 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon features four distinct blocks of Cabernet, plus careful selections of Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot for complexity and intensity. The final ensemble is a stellar example of Alexander Valley Cabernet at its finest. Pristine dark red in color, the Blue Rock 2018 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas that celebrate the dark side - ripe black plum, black currant and black cherry, that are heightened by a note of graphite and touches of black pepper, vanilla and sun-baked earth. These elements come to a beautiful crescendo on the palate, which is in wonderful harmony and balance with fine tannins, a splash of acidity, and a dash of warm baking spices. The finish is long and satisfying. Enjoy!
Dominion Tantara 2018 Pinot Noir Zotovich Vineyard
Nestled at the base of a rugged hillside in the heart of the Sta. Rita Hills appellation, Zotovich Vineyard is a premier fruit source for some of the region's best producers. The Dominion Tantara 2018 'Zotovich Vineyard' Pinot Noir is a gracious, lifted, and expressive wine that certainly speaks to the terroir of this special vineyard site. Notes of crushed flowers, mint, herbs, and sweet dried cherry all grace this beautifully balanced, ethereal Pinot Noir. Nuances of rose petal, lavender and a touch of spice linger nicely on the palate. Enjoy!
2017 Domaine Bousquet Malbec Reserva
Opaque violet, almost black color typical of top quality Argentine Malbec. Intense aromas recalling ripe red berries, plums, blackcurrant, blackpepper with notes of candied fruit and marmalade. Subtle notes of chocolate, coffee and nuts are given by its long ageing in new French oak. Silky palate and soft rounded tannins with notes of blackberries, spices, truffles providing aromatic complexity for an exquisite finish.
This wine goes well with grilled red meats, meats with rich sauces, cheeses as well as chocolate based deserts.
Made from organic grapes sourced mainly from vineyards in Tupungato (Uco Valley) at an altitude of 1200 meters (4000 feet) above sea level, one of the highest points in Mendoza.
Varietal: 85 % Malbec, 5 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 5 % Merlot, 5 % Shiraz
Comanche 2019 Syrah Gimelli Vineyard
Produced from the Cienega Valley of San Benito County, the Comanche 2019 Gimelli Vineyard Syrah is the perfect storm of blueberry jam, boysenberry pie and velvety tannins, all swirled together creating a most satisfying wine.
