My second Steele zinfandel and I now know that I either had a bottle I didn't like, or that I judged these guys too quickly.

This wine has a nice spice aspect which I am taking is American Oak, with a nice cherry on the back nine of your tongue.  Actually Zinfandel and Primitivos taste perfect with either French or American oak aging to them.  I am wondering how long this wine can be aged.

We believe in finding something that you like the taste of, outside of the basic brands that you have been force-fed over the years through a combination of ethnically targeted advertising, and what people in your family have historically been drinking.
