Zinfandel is genetically identical to Puglia's Primitivo, and California made it famous. Bold and jammy, with a peppery edge that keeps it from cloying. Paso Robles swings as much as fifty degrees between afternoon and dawn, which preserves acidity in a hot region. Ridge, 2022 vintage. Serve at cool room temperature. Pairs with grilled meats and spicy sauces.
