At first I was a bit suspect of a Washington state Zinfandel, but I am now a convert. We wrote about Naked Winery and their line of “Orgasmic Wines” in our Valentine’s post Valentine’s Day Wine – Sensual or Sexy? This is a very food friendly Zin with lighter jammy flavors of dark berries and black cherry.

This is a excellent go-to Zinfandel at a good price. Fruit from two Dry Creek Valley vineyards are blended into a soft jammy utterly enjoyable zinfandel. 14% Petite Sirah in the blend adds a bit of spice and darker fruit flavors. Not as complex as some from Wine Guerrlla, just sit back and enjoy the jam.
This jammy bright zin has plenty of blackberry, spice, cinamon and a touch of smoke and leather. The fruit and tannis are well integrated creating a soft and lush mouth-feel. Towards the back palate you sense a bit of dark cherry and earthiness. This full-bodied Wine Guerrilla Zin has enough of the “right stuff” to last a few years but is ready now after a bit of decanting.
If your looking for a powerful, rugged, fruity & spicy Zin, Wine Guerrilla Conte Vineyard Zinfandel, is an excellent choice. A truly enjoyable cold night fireside wine. This field blend wine of 83% Zin, 12% Petite Sirah, 2% Alacante and 1% Grenache has texture and complexity. The Petite Sirah added the pepper and leather we loved in this wine.
Fun is the word that comes to mind. This Wine Guerrilla Old Vine Zinfandel is a big fruit forward, jammy delicious sip. So well balanced with integrated tannins and fruit, the 16% alcohol goes unnoticed. Lot’s of blackberry goodness with a hint of root beer and minerality. A touch of Petite Sirah, Carigan and Alacante in the blend adds depth. Twist the screw top and let the fun begin. BTW…The wine paired sinfully well with dark chocolate.
