Dutton-Goldfield Russian River Valley Zinfandel 2018 Review
This is a wonderful representation of how Zinfandel can shine. It has tart savory fruit, smelling like blackberries and balsamic. It has a tight fruit core and excellent acidity. This bottle with a brisket will make you fall for this grape.
