I overcooked my New York Strip but the wine I chose to have it with is off the chain; okay, it's rather nice. This is one of the cases on the back where what's on the [back] label is very accurate to what's in the bottle. This wine delivers pepper and jam, blackberry and black cherry jam at that. It is composed of 41% Zinfandel, 25% Syrah, 24% Carignane and 10% Petit Sirah.
I recently had a Zinfandel from this company and was not impressed, but this wine is nice. Dark purple in color, middle of the road in weight, and a nice juicy finish make this one a keeper.
And I must say that the cherry really comes through heavy.
