The Federalist Bourbon Barrel Zinfandel 2015
This is a hugely deep and rich zin. Its color in the glass is deep garnet. The nose is heady, alcoholic and cherry- and blueberry-like.
The flavor is big and yet subtle, with undercurrent leathery and woody hints and a dollop of vanilla. The leading flavors are cherry and raspberry.
The finish is heavy and lasting, with a tannic tang, but appropriate for a wine of this strength and gravitas. Pairs well with roasts, chops or steaks.
