Gravelly Ford Zinfandel, 2010

On August 19th I reviewed Gravelly Ford Chardonnay.  With the purchase price of  two for $10, the other wine I purchased was Gravelly Ford Zinfandel.  

Gravelly Ford 2010 Zinfandel ($5 on sale, regularly $10) is from California.  Alcohol is relatively low, 12.5%.  Color: dark, ruby red.  The aroma is a heavenly cinnamon with clove, berry and a hint of smoke.  The flavors are also cinnamon, berry and spice.  Low tannins and nicely balanced.  This is not a big, bold Zin, but for $5 it's an amazing everyday wine.   

Winemaker's Notes:  (Not available)  Pairs well with full-flavored heary meats, stews and soups paired with rustic bread.

Gravelly Ford wines are sold out at Fresh Market.  The distributor is out at the warehouse. I do not know how many customers had rain checks and were asking me when it would be back in stock.
