Easton Zinfandel 2016 Review
This wine is deep and rich, with significant tannins forming the prominent structure. It smells like blackberries, soil, cinnamon, and cloves. The acidity is just right, not letting the wine overwhelm. It’s a great holiday wine for turkey and gravy, but would also be awesome with legit BBQ, like a pulled pork sandwich.
