Winemake Notes
Brilliant ruby in color, Alanera delights the senses with a
variety of aromas and flavors that include fresh and dried cherries and prunes,
sweet spice, and hints of coffee and tobacco. On the palate, Alanera is
full-bodied with elegant and velvety tannins. Vibrant acidity brings balance
and freshness and supports a long and harmonious finish.
Pair Zenato's Alanera with medium-aged cheeses, cured meats, meaty
fish such as sea bass fillet with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, or with braised meats
and stews.

I love the brambly nuances to this red, which suggests forest floor,
dried plums, dried herbs and cedar. Full-bodied and chewy with grainy tannins
and spice undertones throughout. Long and beautiful. Drink now or hold.
