Sky Vineyards Zinfandel Mount Veeder, 2016 Pipers River Dauvissat 'Vaillons Vieilles Vignes' Chablis

Dauvissat 'Vaillons Vieilles Vignes' Chablis 1er Cru

We would pair it with the rich and spicy Nigerian dish of Jollof Rice

a Bordeaux Supérieur winery run by the Laurent family which live on the property

even more finicky than Nebbiolo

with subtle hints of honeycombs and French oak

Sky Vineyards Zinfandel Mount Veeder, 2016 Pipers River Dauvissat 'Vaillons Vieilles Vignes' ChablisThis wine is made of 100% Zinfandel. Made by an old school producer who lives right next to the vineyard, this wine boasts bountiful black cherries and mountain berries with a distinct peppery brighness. Open it now or lay it down for awhile, and admire the Lore artwork depicting the winery's strength during the 2017 wildfires. We would pair it with grilled lamb chops and asparagus in a lemon yogurt sauce.
