Vibrant Zin from the Sierra Foothills.
The Zazen Zinfandel is rugged and untamed at first sip – picture wild passionfruit and tiger-striped fig. With just a bit of time, this wine reveals those brambly Zinfandel qualities we all know and love. A surprising wine that takes everything we know about Zin and turns it on its head.
