Ripe blackberry, plum and red cherry surge from the glass, followed by violet, anise and a flicker of spice that gives the wine extra energy and shape. The palate is full and plummy, with bright fruit at its core, soft tannins and just enough savoury depth to keep everything grounded. There is generosity here, certainly, but it is carried with ease, making the wine feel exuberant, balanced and very easy to enjoy. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"712\" data-end=\"1036\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"712\" data-end=\"725\"\u003eFor when:\u003c\/strong\u003e the grill is hot, the table is noisy, and one bottle is definitely not going to be enough.\u003cbr data-start=\"816\" data-end=\"819\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"819\" data-end=\"834\"\u003ePairs with:\u003c\/strong\u003e burgers, barbecue ribs, smoky sausages, or anything touched by fire and spice.\u003cbr data-start=\"913\" data-end=\"916\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"916\" data-end=\"946\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eIf this wine were a place:\u003c\/strong\u003e a warm Paso hillside at sunset, with dust in the air and smoke curling up from the grill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1038\" data-end=\"1601\"\u003eFoxglove is the more approachable label from Bob and Jim Varner, created to offer everyday California wines with the same care and balance that made Varner so respected. The 2021 Zinfandel comes from Paso Robles, built around fruit from mature vines in the Double Black vineyard, with a little Petite Sirah blended in for extra depth and frame. The wine was made in a low-intervention style, fully destemmed, pressed at dryness, and aged in French oak, which helps explain its mix of vivid fruit, polish and easygoing appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55661341311361,"sku":null,"price":21.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/2021FoxgloveZinfandel_VarnerWines.png?v=1778590584","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2021-foxglove-zinfandel-varner-wines","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
