Tortoise Creek Zinfandel The Chelonian 2018 skus_30186330 filling the palate with fleshinessThe Chelonian has a lovely spicy, cherry like bouquet, bursting with ripe berry flavors. There are delicious notes of blackcurrant and plum with a lingering finish of vanilla and cinnamon toast. Perfect with spicy food, game, or beef. Earthy and black peppery aromas lead to mostly oaky flavors of cedar, maple, brown sugar and plums in this full bodied, and moderately tannic wine.
