Fableist Paso Preserve

Opened this with friends expecting a standard Zinfandel, but the notes of nutmeg and dried tobacco really surprised me in a good way. The finish is long and smooth, and it paired beautifully with our roasted lamb. Definitely grabbing another bottle for the holidays.

Opened this for a quiet weeknight pour and the nutmeg really comes through on the finish, balancing the juicy Zinfandel fruit nicely. The Petit Sirah adds a smooth backbone that makes it dangerously easy to sip.

The cranberry and dried tobacco notes really come through on the finish, and the nutmeg gives it a warm, cozy edge that makes it feel fancier than the price. I’m already thinking about grabbing another bottle for the next pasta night.
