McPrice Myers 'Pound for Pound' Zinfandel '22

Scoring 91 points, this robust Zinfandel from old vine plantings delivers classic California character. The 2022 vintage offers jammy aromas of black raspberry, allspice, and vanilla bean. The full-bodied palate is packed with flavors of blueberry compote, dark chocolate, and black pepper, supported by ripe tannins. Aged 14 months in American oak (30% new), it maintains Zinfandel's signature brambly fruit while showing uncommon balance. The finish shows hints of molasses and espresso. Pair with baby back ribs, pepperoni pizza, or smoked gouda.
