The Story
The Pavette Zinfandel from Lodi in California combines Zinfandel (92%) Petite Sirah (3%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (5%).

A harmonious balance of flavours, with the Zinfandel providing juicy fruitiness, the Cabernet Sauvignon contributing depth and complexity, and the Petite Sirah adding a spicy kick.
