California Zinfandel “Diamond Collection Red Label” 2022

A California Zinfandel from 2022, made by Francis Ford Coppola Winery. The grapes come from two vineyards: Hogs Canyon in Paso Robles, which gives the more concentrated bunches, and old vines in Amador County. It rests for twelve months in French oak barrels. Deep garnet with violet reflections, it shows aromas of strawberry jam, wild blackberries and toasty notes. On the palate it is fruity, with clove spice and crème brûlée notes, full-bodied and structured. It suits red meat dishes, and is worth trying with roast pork with apples.
