Dingač Pelješac Peninsula Plavac Mali – 2006 – 8.8 – James Meléndez / James the Wine Guy

This wine is closely related to Zinfandel; though the varietal may have a similar DNA–the wine is different.  This wine is very low in alcohol–12%–intense acidity.  Notes of roasted red plum, red cherry, Eucalyptus, and winter spices.  This wine is recommended to enjoy with food; marinara-based food, Mexican food, and burgers to name a few.

¡Salud!
