Jim's Zin

2006 Paso Robles Zinfandel

Gelfand Vineyards Jim's Zin is a bold and captivating Zinfandel from the renowned Paso Robles region. This full-bodied red wine showcases a deep ruby hue that entices the eye, while inviting aromas of ripe blackberries, cherries, and hints of spicy black pepper dance from the glass. With a lively acidity, this wine boasts a perfect balance, providing a mouthwatering sensation that complements its rich fruit intensity. The tannins are well-integrated, adding a firm structure without overpowering the wine's vibrant character. This 2006 vintage is beautifully dry with a captivating finish, making it an ideal companion for grilled meats or hearty pasta dishes, and a delightful choice for any occasion.

Central Coast

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
