Burke's Blazing Barbecue

2013 Lodi, California, Mokelumne River Zinfandel, Zinf

Burke's Blazing Barbecue is a remarkable Zinfandel from the renowned Lodi region, specifically the Mokelumne River area. This 2013 vintage offers a deeply saturated red hue that beckons with its visual allure. The fullness of the body is complemented by a balanced acidity that refreshes the palate. It showcases prominent fruit intensity with luscious notes of ripe blackberries and cherries, layered with hints of spice that add complexity. The tannins are notable yet smooth, providing structure without overwhelming the wine's fruit-forward character. While delightful on its own, this Zinfandel is food-friendly, making it an ideal companion for barbecued dishes and grilled meats, enhancing the overall dining experience.
