Staff Comments: This hails from dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County. Dried cherries and a kiss of oak on the nose. It's lighter in style with soft tannins and bright acidity. Brambles, strawberries a touch of leather with an olive tapenade/blueberry finish. Pair this with pepperoni pizza, chips and guacamole or cheeseburger sliders.

Armida Dry Creek Zinfandel entices with its dark cherry hues and seductive aromas of blackberry, plum, and smoky oak. This bold wine reveals rich flavors of black-cherry jam, raspberry, and cola, followed by a subtle finish of mocha and anise. It presents a muscular yet balanced profile, culminating in a long, satisfying finish embraced by a warm blanket of vanilla spice and oak. Pair this wine with grilled meats, especially a juicy steak or smoked barbecue, to complement its robust character.
