About the Wine: My last post was about Zinfandel, so I won't beat it to death here. It is important to note the difference between Zinfandel and White Zinfandel. Zinfandel is rich, complex, and variable. White Zinfandel is not any of those things, but it is sweet.
About THIS Wine: It is dark purple, almost opaque, with a garnet rim. Red fruit is prominent on the nose and is balanced with smoke and raisins. The fruit delivers on the palate with a layered taste of cherry and figs that blends into a mildly spicy finish. The wine is not sweet, but neither is it really dry. The fruit taste is one that I would describe as "bright."
Drinking This Wine: Terra d'Oro would work as a sipping wine. It would also pair well with sweet sausage or hamburger.
Overall Impression: This Zin is versatile and delicious. At fourteen dollars a bottle is a good value.
