TODAY'S FEATURED WINE

Rabbit Ridge Vineyards: Vortex Zinfandel/GrenacheRed Blend: Paso Robles-California: : 2013: United States

Intense Zinfandel/Grenache blend packs a punch full of black plums, figs and dark berries. Oak and tannin have enough muscle to make the fruit almost behave. $30 at the tasting room. Would certainly have calmed Dorothy's nerves.
