California-born winemaker James Jelks has a knack for finding the wild, wonderful side of California wine, and Ember Eyes is a particularly charming take on Zinfandel. Think brambly blackberries, juicy raspberries, dried herbs, and a flicker of peppery spice, with a lively freshness that keeps everything light on its feet. Rustic in all the right ways, this is Zin for the natural wine crowd. Give it a slight chill and pair it with wood-fired pizza, grilled sausages, or a smoky eggplant dish.
