Foppiano Vineyards Zinfandel 2016 Review
Man, is this wine intense. The oak is everything, and the alcohol is high and hot. This doesn't leave room for complexity, or subtlety, and there is no daylight in the glass. At the price, this is a wine to bring to a BBQ with a lot of protein and buckets of sauce. The sweetness of the wine will match the sweetness of the sauce.
