It\u2019s a scrumptious medium-bodied red that begins with berry and cherry fruit flavors and is followed by plenty of black pepper, cinnamon and clove.  With all these spices you might mistake it for a Zinfandel, and like a Zin, you should enjoy it with duck, pork or grilled foods.<\/p>\n<p>One thing I really appreciated about Glen Fiona wines was their reasonable prices \u2013 a good $5 to $10 less than many of the Syrahs from this area.
