Agent for Change Zinfandel
What’s better than a tasty Zinfandel on a spring day? A tasty Zinfandel for which half the profits go to charity.
And what could be a more enjoyable way to give to charity than by drinking wine? Well, I really can’t think of one.
Agent for Change isn’t just a clever name for a wine, but it’s a clever name with a meaning behind it. This wine really is an “agent for change” as 50% of the profits go to non-profit organizations, such as community-based organizations that deliver healthcare to uninsured and under-insured workers in the wine industry. This Zinfandel is one of three different wines released under the Agent for Change name since the brand was established in 2008. Agent for Change was created in partnership with Big Hammer Wines and are available for sale online through them.
I like the idea of buying products that give significantly to charities, but hey… the wine still needs to be good. Right? Well, this Paso Robles Zinfandel doesn’t disappoint.
Cola and toasted oak are the first aromas that stand out to me. It’s oaky on the nose and on the palate. There are also some dark berry aromas. On the palate, the fruit comes through more prominently, but it’s still soft — in a way that I like. Sometimes Zinfandel can be too jammy, but this one isn’t jammy at all. It’s very approachable. It has a nice mouthfeel and a little bit of spice on the finish. It’s a pleasant Zinfandel.
