Alexander Valley 2012 Temptation Zinfandel 750ml

Alexander Valley Vineyards has always done a good job with value Zinfandels. My favorite of the current releases is the 2012 Zinfandel Redemption, which was aged 14 months in barrel. It reveals plenty of peppery, black cherry and blackberry fruit, and cuts a broad swath across the palate with no hard edges. With abundant spice as well as personality, this seductive Zinfandel should drink well for several years.
