While Zinfandel may be indigenous to southern Italy, where it has been identified as the Primitivo grape, it has reached its true potential here in the United States. In fact, it is widely regarded as “America’s grape”. It is fitting, therefore, that many people enjoy this all-American wine during the all-American holiday of Thanksgiving, when Zinfandel can be called upon to stand up to the rich flavors of turkey and stuffing. When young, it possesses classy, berry-fruit flavors, which can suggest black cherry or even a flavor of jam. Great Zinfandel is rich and deep-colored with ripe, peppery-spicy fruit flavors, licorice intensity, and a chocolate-herb complexity.
