Cycles Gladiator Zinfandel 2006
Cycles Gladiator Zinfandel 2006 is “smooth and deliciously complex with notes of black cherry, blackberry and peppery spice, complemented by well-integrated tannins and a full-bodied finish. Produced in the Central Coastal region of California just south of San Francisco, it is a perfect match for grilled and roasted meats, as well as pizza or pasta with marinara.” Okay, I cheated. I took these tasting notes off the label on the wine bottle. I agree with the label. It is a delicous wine, smooth tannins with just a hint of pepper and some oak, not too much, just enough.
