Ask Lisa: 2007 Elyse Howell Mountain Zinfandel
Patty Heinrich noted on Facebook, “Just received our shipment of wine from our trip to Napa. Can’t wait to plan a great dinner to have with each.”
Patti noted some great wines and here is what Lisa came up with.
2007 Elyse Howell Mountain Zinfandel (Released April 2010)
This earthy, dark ruby red wine gives way to aromas of raisins and light pepper.
On the Palate are the tastes of earthiness, plums, and white pepper. Although this particular wine can be laid down for 7-10 years, it’s very well structured with medium tannins.
Cheeses to pair with this beautiful wine would be Camembert and Brie.
It’s purely a soft, yet complex wine and perfectly pairs with Lamb, Barbecued Pork or Beef Ribs, Hamburgers to Spicy Thai food to Peppered Steaks.
