Cameron Hughes’ 811 Zinfandel is a perennial best-seller for the model, and given its mixture of exuberance and worth it’s simple to see why. All instructed, it’s a relatively easy bottling of Lodi zin, this daring wine drenched in chocolate sauce, black raspberry, and a layer of dense baking spice. Issues get relatively prune-heavy because the wine develops in glass, constructing to a lush however considerably gummy, oversweetened end. It’s not as pejoratively jammy as many trendy zins, however the berry-laden end has a definite Port-like character that evokes a younger ruby. That is higher after dinner than earlier than; in any other case it wants the proper companion to work as a meals pairing — assume pork with a diminished wine sauce.
