The Gallo Signature Series Zinfandel is a premium expression of California’s iconic grape, showcasing exceptional depth and complexity from select vineyards. This wine represents a pinnacle of quality and craftsmanship from one of America’s most historic wine families.
Founded in 1933 by brothers Ernest and Julio, E. & J. Gallo Winery has grown from humble post-Prohibition beginnings to become a global leader in the wine industry, while remaining family-owned. The Signature Series was created by third-generation winemaker Gina Gallo to honor her grandfather’s legacy, focusing on the best fruit from premier California appellations. This collection reflects a commitment to quality that positions Gallo at the forefront of fine American winemaking.
In the glass, the Gallo Signature Series Zinfandel reveals a deep, inky ruby color, hinting at its concentration. The nose is an inviting medley of ripe blackberry, dark cherry, and raspberry, interwoven with notes of black pepper, vanilla, and sweet baking spices from oak aging. On the palate, this red wine is full-bodied and robust with a velvety texture, well-integrated tannins, and a long, satisfying finish.
For the optimal tasting experience, serve this Zinfandel slightly below room temperature, around 16-18°C (60-65°F). Its bold flavor profile makes it an excellent partner for barbecued ribs, grilled steak, hearty stews, or aged, hard cheeses.
