Zinfandel

Serve at the Right Temperature: Pour Zinfandel slightly below room temperature to highlight ripe berry notes while balancing high alcohol and the full body of California styles.
Use the Proper Wine Glass: Choose a large bordeaux glass for fuller styles, a standard red wine glass for everyday drinking, or a universal glass for casual pours and barbecue pairings.
Let It Breathe Before Drinking: Let Zinfandel breathe 20–30 minutes to soften rich tannins and develop jammy fruit flavors.
Sip and Enjoy the Fruitiness: Take small sips to taste blackberry and raspberry jam, appreciate full body and warming alcohol, and enjoy Zinfandel’s bold, spicy California exuberance.
