2013 Tobin James Ballistic Zinfandel ($14)

Tobin James is one of the larger producers in Paso Robles. Located on the east side of Highway 101, this winery has a salon-style tasting room and a fun atmosphere.

The Ballistic Zinfandel is one of their flagship wines. Paso Robles is known for their Zinfandel, and this is a good example. Using grapes from the noteworthy Dusi Vineyard, this Zinfandel starts with rich and jammy dark fruit flavors and finishes with classic peppery notes.

This Ballistic Zinfandel from Tobin James fits right in with the "Behind the Cork™ - Wine of the Week" theme of good wines at a great price. Enjoy!
