DeRose Vineyards Nick DeRose Sr. Vineyard 2006 Zinfandel, Cienega Valley

DeRose handcrafted this small block of Zinfandel as a tribute to Nick DeRose, who, like the wine, was bold, robust and full of life. It's rich, complex mouthfeel will leave you with ripe berry and cherry flavors over a long, smooth finish. Serve with bacon-wrapped filet mignon, Cajun pork chops, eggplant Parmesan or a dessert of dark chocolates. Drink now through 2013. Discovery label.
