Sometimes you get screwed with a closeout wine, sometimes you hit gold. With this one, I was closer to the latter. 65% Napa Valley and 35% Sonoma Valley, this wine is pretty spicy, with pepper, other spice, and berries (blackberry and raspberry).

It's aged in both French and American oak, and is a little bit more gamey than any other Zinfandel that I have had, and it's quite lovely.

This wine would be great with any spiced meat, and I am thinking a baked ham with the cloves cooked in.
