KShs3,025 incl. of VAT
Aromas of blackberry jam, dark cherry, and black pepper rise from the glass, layered with hints of toasted oak, vanilla bean, and clove. On the palate, this Zinfandel is luxuriously rich, with velvety tannins supporting flavors of ripe plum, chocolate-dipped raspberries, and baking spices. A touch of smokiness lingers on the long, warming finish, adding depth and complexity.
Perfect alongside barbecued ribs, grilled lamb chops, spiced sausages, or aged cheddar. It also pairs beautifully with smoky eggplant or mushroom-based dishes.
