With the ZAP Zinfandel Festival still almost two weeks away, the mental and physical preparation has surely already begun amongst all lovers of this insanely popular grape. One of the year’s most heavily-attended tastings, ZAP showcases producers from all over California and provides a rare opportunity to taste Zinfandels from regions as disparate as Napa, Paso Robles, Shenandoah, and more – all within brief moments of one another.
Year after year, one of our favorite wines at the festival is the Brown Estate Napa Zinfandel. This bottling marries the unique, concentrated flavors of Zinfandel with a structure and complexity that one might expect from a Cabernet grown on the same property. There’s nothing shy or reserved about it, either. At tasting after tasting, we’ve seen people fall in love with this wine upon first sip – its abundant fruit flavors instantly converting casual festival goers into diehard Brown Estate followers.
Brown Estate Zinfandel Just Released.
