Scotto’s luxuriously textured and flavoured old vine Zinfandel offers a price to quality ratio which puts so many others in the shade. Aromas of spicy red fruit with with a hint of dark chocolate are followed through with rich, multi-layered flavours of dark cherry, plum, cassis and spice which precede a finish marked by a subtle touch of vanilla and soft tannins. A stunning red, made for a slab of red meat straight off the barbecue…Quite simply this is a star red in the Frontier Fine Wine list.

string(566) "Originally thought to have Italian origins, Zinfandel is a variety ubiquitous in California. From the semi-sweet blush wines through to high impact expressions such as Geyserville from Ridge Vineyards, Zinfandel’s spicy richness and deeply concentrated black berry fruit flavours tick so many boxes. Its ease of oak aging lends additional mocha and vanilla notes to many releases. It could quite feasibly offer the greatest barbeque tie-in of all time! Old vine examples add depth to the flavour profile and value for money can often be found off the beaten track."
