Zinfandel
California's very own grape variety, although it seems to be the
same as southern Italy's Primitivo grape. It produces wines that range in style
from pink, sweet and frothy (confusingly called White Zinfandel) to serious, full-bodied,
weighty reds stuffed with blackcurrant fruit.
A little is also made into a fortified
version.
