Sextant Zinfandel 2013  

Central Coast, California, United States

A juicy, plush, berry-rich Californian Zinfandel with purple plums on the finish. The winery is named for the Old World navigational instrument that used the sun, stars and horizon to chart a course on open water. The vines are planted in the arid, rocky soils of Monterey County, just north of Paso Robles. The chalky soils yield intense berry flavours. Pair with barbecued meats.
