Red Wine from California.
If you are looking for a good classic wine to enjoy along with your roast meats, then Carnivor Zinfandel would be a good reliable choice. The clue is in the name!
The Zinfandel grape is also known as Primitivo. It has a black skin and produces luscious dark wines. It came to California in the mid-19th century and has been popular with winemakers ever since.
More dark fruits
Carnivor Zinfandel 2022 has a deep ruby red colour in the glass. On the nose it offers black berries and a hint of spice. On the palate there is more dark fruits, cherries, Christmas spices and a hint of pepper. It is a bold wine with medium tannins and balanced acid, and is medium dry. The finish is pleasingly long.
This mouth-filling red is perfect for pairing with robust foods. Yes, your barbecue and roast beef Sunday lunch, but try this with your favourite curry or even with a selection of cheeses.
Open the bottle a while before tasting to allow the wine to breathe and present its fruity character.
Carnivor Zinfandel 2022 has a RRP of £10.50 and is available from good retailers across the UK.
