Predator Old Vine Zinfandel Lodi

Predator, Old Vine Zinfandel is a powerful red wine that carries the essence of California. This wine, made from old Zinfandel grapes, has a deep ruby ​​red color and seduces the nose with aromas of ripe dark fruit, such as cherries, blackberries and plums, subtly interwoven with spicy notes of pepper and cinnamon. The first sip reveals a full, concentrated taste. The tannins are firm, but velvety soft and envelop the tongue with a pleasant warmth. The taste development is a journey through a palette of ripe fruit, spices and a hint of licorice, which ends in a long, impressive finish.

Wine - Food pairing

The robust taste of this Zinfandel makes it an excellent partner for hearty dishes. Its powerful character and fruity notes make it a perfect companion for red meat such as a juicy ribeye or a tender rack of lamb, prepared on the grill or in the oven. The spicy notes harmonize beautifully with game dishes such as venison or wild boar. For those who love pasta, a portion of pappardelle with a wild boar sauce is an absolute must. The Zinfandel enhances the taste of the pasta and ensures a tasty and harmonious combination.

Cheese lovers will also get their money's worth with this wine. A piece of blue cheese, such as Roquefort or Gorgonzola, forms a contrasting and surprising combination. The sweet and salty notes of the cheese are beautifully accentuated by the fruity and spicy character of the Zinfandel.
